A loud hum on microwave with nothing actually heating. Turned out to be the power supply rather than the magnetron itself, which he said is worth checking first because it is the cheaper of the two. It was.

Microwave-convection combination ovens.
Speed Oven Repair
A speed oven is two appliances sharing a cavity, and they fail separately. Convection working with no microwave output is a magnetron or its power supply; microwave working with no convection is the element or the fan. Knowing which half is dead before the visit shortens it considerably.

Who builds them
The same appliance fails differently by manufacturer
- Thermador Star burners, steam and speed ovens, and column refrigeration. The cooktops are the reliable half; the electronics are where the calls come from.
- Wolf Ranges, rangetops, wall ovens and hoods. Wolf failures are usually electrical or ignition-side, and they are usually cheaper to put right than owners expect.
- Dacor Wall ovens, cooktops and downdraft ventilation, with more onboard electronics than most of the field.
- Miele Dishwashers, ovens and coffee systems built to a service interval rather than to a failure point. Most Miele calls are maintenance that was never done.

Cooling fan kept running for an hour after every cycle. Not broken exactly, but not right either. He traced it to a thermostat telling the fan the cavity was still hot. Small fix, and he treated it as worth doing properly.

Convection side heated normally and the microwave side did nothing at all. He said those are two appliances sharing one cavity and they fail separately, which narrowed it immediately. Magnetron. Knew before he arrived what he was likely looking at.

Book it, or ask first
The $95 covers the visit and the full diagnosis and comes off the repair once you approve it. If it turns out nothing should be repaired, we will say that too.
