Light on, nothing starts
A failed door switch or fuse, the most common Daewoo microwave fault.
Daewoo microwaves, fridges, washers and TVs are still found in many Kenyan homes. We repair them with genuine or compatible parts.
Pick your Daewoo appliance. Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
A failed door switch or fuse, the most common Daewoo microwave fault.
The magnetron, high-voltage diode or capacitor.
A burnt waveguide cover or damaged cavity paint. Stop using it until it’s fixed.
A thermostat, relay or gas leak.
We find and fix the leak first, then pull a vacuum and refill with the right gas for your fridge.
Frost on the back wall or around the fan points to a defrost heater, sensor or timer fault.
The belt, clutch or lid switch.
Water left in the drum, or a code like 5C, OE or E18. Usually a blocked filter, hose or a worn drain pump.
Clothes come out soaking. Unbalanced loads, a drain fault, a worn belt or motor brushes.
Almost always the backlight. Shine a torch at the screen: if you can faintly see the picture, that’s it.
A failed power board or standby circuit.
T-con board or panel faults.
Older Daewoo microwaves often fail at the door switch. If the light comes on but nothing starts, that is the likely cause.

Yes. We replace magnetrons, diodes, door switches and turntable motors on Daewoo microwaves.
Most common parts are, and we find compatible parts for older models.
The diagnosis is free. The technician finds the fault on your Daewoo microwave, tells you the full price for parts and labour, and nothing starts until you approve it.
Most bookings in Nairobi and Kiambu get a same-day visit. Common Daewoo parts travel in the van, so many repairs are finished on the first visit.
We fit genuine Daewoo parts wherever they are available and tell you clearly when only a compatible part exists. Every repair carries our warranty.
No. HomeFixit is an independent repair company and is not affiliated with Daewoo. If your Daewoo appliance is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, contact the seller first; once it is out of warranty, we can help.
