Indesit microwave repair is mostly about built-in models: Indesit sells its microwaves mainly as built-in units from the MWI series, and an Egyptian retailer lists a 22-liter built-in model with a grill. If yours won't start, runs without heating, sparks or shows Err and a number, send us the model and what happens. The high-voltage parts inside are dangerous even when unplugged, so the safe checks are few and the rest is technician work.
Independent repair center for Indesit microwaves outside the manufacturer's warranty. Don't remove any cover yourself: the capacitor inside can hold a dangerous charge.
Read this first
If you see sparks, smoke or flames inside, stop the microwave, keep the door closed and unplug it or switch off its breaker. Don't use it with a damaged door, hinge or seal, and never remove the outer cover: parts inside stay dangerous after unplugging.
These checks come from Indesit's own manual and need no tools and no cover removal.
Plug and socket: Make sure the plug is fully in and the socket works.
Door closed properly: Open and close the door, then try again; the microwave won't run unless the door is fully shut.
Fuses and breaker: Check the fuse or the breaker for the kitchen circuit.
Ventilation: Make sure nothing blocks the vents around the built-in unit.
Wait 10 minutes: Then try once more, as the manual advises.
Err and a number: This is a software fault. Note the number and tell us when you book.
Indesit publishes few microwave-specific faults, so most of these are general faults found in microwaves of every brand. They're listed from most to least common, and none replaces a test.
The light and turntable work and you hear it running, but the food stays cold.
In microwaves generally: the magnetron, the high-voltage diode or capacitor, a door switch, or the control board.
Check the power level and that it isn't on a defrost program, then test with a cup of water for one minute.
After discharging the capacitor, the technician tests the high-voltage circuit and the magnetron.
The display is dead, or nothing happens when you press Start.
The plug, socket or breaker, a door that isn't fully closed, a blown internal fuse (often linked to a door switch), or the control board.
Follow the MWI 120 GX checks: plug, door, fuses, ventilation, then wait 10 minutes and try again.
The technician replaces a blown fuse only after finding why it blew, usually by testing the door switches.
The display shows Err followed by a number, and the microwave won't run.
Indesit's microwave guide says Err plus a number is a software problem.
Note the number and the model, and tell us when you book.
The technician checks the control board and its connections for your model.
Flashes or crackling inside while it runs, or a burnt smell.
In microwaves generally: metal or foil inside, grease on the cavity, or a burnt mica cover over the waveguide opening.
Stop it, unplug it and remove any metal. Once it's cold, clean grease from the cavity with a soft cloth.
The technician replaces the mica cover and checks the cavity before testing again.
The plate stays still, so food heats unevenly.
The plate or roller ring isn't seated, or the turntable motor or its coupler has failed.
Clean the roller ring and seat the plate and ring correctly.
The technician replaces the turntable motor or coupler.
The door springs open, feels loose, or the microwave only starts when you press on the door.
Worn latch hooks, a door switch or the hinges.
Stop using it until it's repaired. Don't hold the door shut while it runs.
The technician replaces the latch, switches or hinges and checks the door seals.
A microwave runs its magnetron on very high voltage. Indesit's manual says service must only be carried out by a trained technician and that no cover should be removed.
The capacitor holds a charge: The high-voltage capacitor can stay dangerously charged after the plug is pulled.
Door and seals matter: A damaged door, hinge or seal is a reason to stop using the microwave until it's repaired.
Safety switches: The door switches and the fuse stop the oven when the door opens; they must never be bypassed.
Technician's first step: The power is isolated and the capacitor discharged before any part is tested.
Indesit microwaves are mainly built-in. Freestanding Indesit microwaves aren't sold new in Egypt at the moment.
Indesit's built-in range, such as MWI 120 GX. Err and a number means a software fault.

We confirm your area, the appointment and the inspection fee before you commit.
The technician isolates the power and discharges the capacitor, then tests and tells you the cause and cost before starting.
For a major part such as the magnetron, we compare the repair cost with the microwave's age and value before you decide.
We test heating with you after the repair, and the 6-month warranty on the repair is recorded on the invoice.
Microwave parts must match the model's power and fittings. We confirm each part by model and part number, and tell you its type, source and warranty before fitting it.
Never run it empty or with metal or foil inside.
Keep the inside clean; grease on the cavity and the mica cover can cause sparks.
Keep the vents of a built-in microwave clear.
Don't use it if the door, hinges or seal are damaged.
If it stops working, wait 10 minutes before trying again, as the MWI 120 GX manual advises.
Never remove the cover to check a part; the capacitor can hold a dangerous charge.

Err followed by a number means a software problem, according to Indesit's microwave guide. Note the number and tell us when you book; the technician checks the control board and its connections for your model.
In microwaves of any brand, the usual causes are the magnetron, the high-voltage diode or capacitor, or a door switch. These parts are tested only by a technician, after the capacitor has been discharged.
Only the outside checks: the plug and socket, the door closing properly, the fuses and the ventilation, then wait 10 minutes and try again. Indesit's manual says service must be done by a trained technician and no cover should be removed, because the capacitor inside can hold a dangerous charge.
No. A damaged door, hinge or seal is a reason to stop using the microwave until it's repaired.
Not at the moment, based on Egyptian retailer listings. Indesit microwaves are mainly built-in (MWI series), and a 22-liter built-in model with a grill is sold locally. For an older or imported model, send us the label and we'll check parts.
No. We're an independent repair center for Indesit microwaves outside the purchase warranty. If yours is still under warranty, contact the provider on the warranty card or the shop you bought it from.
The inspection and travel fee is confirmed when you book. The repair cost is given after diagnosis and before any work, and for a major part such as the magnetron we tell you if the repair isn't worth it. The repair carries a 6-month warranty.
Tell us what happens when you press Start, any Err number, the model and your area. We'll confirm the appointment and the next step.
