Our Menumaster sparked inside. Can we keep using it until the repair?

No. Stop using it. Arcing can damage the waveguide cover, the cavity and the magnetron, and each run makes it worse. Unplug it if you can, and tell us what you saw when you call.

Our kitchen is inside a larger building with loading rules. Does that change the visit?

Only the scheduling. Send us the building's contractor rules and a contact when you book, and we plan the visit around them. The repair itself happens at the oven, so nothing needs to leave the building.

Is a sparking microwave usually worth repairing?

Usually, yes. A new waveguide cover and a cleaning cost little next to a new commercial oven. If the arcing went on long enough to damage the magnetron or the cavity, we test those parts and include them in the written quote so you can compare.

Menumaster in Emeryville

Menumaster commercial service.

Emeryville is a small city between Berkeley and Oakland, built up as condos and mixed-use districts along Powell Street, Bay Street and the Shellmound corridor. A Menumaster in a compact kitchen often sits on a shelf close to other equipment. Sparks inside the cavity are the problem that worries staff most, and the usual cause is grease and food built up on the waveguide cover, which burns and arcs. Left alone, arcing damages the cover, the cavity and eventually the magnetron.

Our technician for Emeryville is based in Benicia. Building rules often apply, so tell us about sign-in or access when you book. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and a written quote comes before any work begins.

Common repairs we handle.

Sparking from a burned waveguide cover. The waveguide cover shields the opening where energy enters the cavity. Grease and spatter on it carbonize and arc. We replace the cover, clean the cavity and the opening behind it, check for damage beyond the cover, and run a test load to confirm the arcing has stopped.
Magnetron overheating from blocked airflow. When a microwave sits tight against a wall or other equipment, hot air has nowhere to go and the magnetron runs hot. The oven cuts out mid-cycle or its heating fades. We clean the intake, test the cooling fan and cutout, and tell you how much clearance the oven needs.
Worn membrane keypad on the busiest presets. The two or three presets used all day wear out first, and staff start pressing twice to get a response. We replace the keypad, check its connection to the control, and reload your cook times before the oven goes back on the line.
