Buying vs Repairing: What to Do When Your Commercial Microwave Stops Working?

Introduction

Your commercial microwave just stopped working. Now you’re faced with a decision:
Should I repair it, or buy a new one?

For food business owners in Ahmedabad — where margins, speed, and equipment uptime matter — this choice can directly impact profits.

At Shree Shree Weighing Solutions, we help you evaluate the best option based on:

• Condition of the machine

• Repair costs

• Model age

• Urgency and business needs

Here’s a simple decision-making guide.

✅ When to Repair Your Microwave

• The model is less than 5 years old

• It has been regularly maintained

• Repair costs are under 40% of the new unit

• You urgently need it up and running

• It’s a high-end brand with long life

Common repair-worthy issues include:

• Faulty magnetron

• Door sensor failure

• Blown fuse or capacitor

• Wiring or touch panel issues

We can repair most of these within 1 working day.

❌ When to Replace It

• The machine is 6–10+ years old

• Frequent breakdowns

• Spare parts are obsolete or expensive

• Downtime is affecting customer service

• You want to upgrade to a newer, more efficient model

💰 Cost Comparison in Ahmedabad

Typical Repair Cost:
₹1,800 – ₹6,500 depending on parts

New Commercial Microwave:
₹12,000 – ₹40,000+

So, if your unit is in decent condition, a ₹3,000 repair can easily give you 2–3 more years of use.
