The single-repair split, stated head-on first
| Frame | What it counts | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame A | most jobs / average | $100-$200 / around $175 |
| Frame A | small repairs / large fixes | from $50 / to $500 or more |
| Frame A | magnetron job | inside the most-jobs band |
| Frame B | national average / range | $175 / $100-$250 |
| Frame B | magnetron, a part row | $100-$300 |
This cluster prices a microwave repair alone -- a single microwave repair visit as the whole ticket, priced by failed part and by microwave type on the by-part guide and by ticket on the repair-vs-replacement guide. Named apart, never a row here: the appliance-repair hub's single microwave row, a family-table row and never a microwave-repair price; oven and range repair rows, the oven cluster's own field -- a microwave-cavity row is never an oven row; microwave installation rows, a mounting purchase and never a repair; and the appliance replace-vs-repair guide's decision band, a rule and never a price.
Frame A lines, as reported: the Angi frame
| Frame A line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| Most jobs / average | $100-$200 / around $175 |
| Small repairs / large fixes | from $50 / to $500 or more |
| Labor | $60-$100 per hour |
| Replacement, other ticket | $500 average with installation |
| New countertop / combination ovens | $50-$500 / to $3,500 ceiling |
Frame A prints no separate part rows -- its counting is the band itself, with the magnetron job inside the most-jobs band.
Frame B lines, as reported: the HomeGuide frame
| Frame B line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| National average / average range | $175 / $100-$250 |
| Minimum / maximum | $70 / $500 |
| Magnetron / diode | $100-$300 / $80-$170 |
| Control board / touch pad | $120-$380 / $120-$330 |
| Countertop / built-in types | $80-$180 / $130-$330 |
Frame B counts microwave repair by part and by type, with parts and labor included in its part rows, and a new microwave at $100-$600 standing only as the other ticket. The two frames price the same magnetron job differently -- Frame A reads the magnetron job inside its $100-$200 most-jobs band with no separate magnetron line, while Frame B reads a magnetron at $100-$300 as its own part row with parts and labor included. That difference is named as a frame difference on every page here, never averaged.
The neighbours, differentiated
The appliance-repair hub prices a family appliance table in its own lane, apart from its single microwave row named apart here. Its microwave row is the least expensive repair line on its list, standing inside that hub's own counting. Neither prices a single microwave repair visit by part.
