Mode, power and cookware context
AEG publishes separate support for the microwave function of compact ovens. Describe microwave, grill or combination selection and the result already observed, along with model/PNC. Use only accessories allowed for that mode by the exact manual; do not run it empty or try metal cookware as a diagnostic test.
Door and sparking stop conditions
Do not keep using a microwave with sparking, burning smell or damaged door/sealing areas. Describe the event without reproducing it. Never remove the casing or alter interlocks, even after disconnecting power. Whether internal repair is suitable needs confirmation for the individual appliance.
Built-in housing versus countertop
State fitting type, cabinet position and any trim kit from accessible documents. Do not pull the unit out to find its plate. For replacement, send the proposed reference; width alone does not establish correct ventilation or housing compatibility. Installation arrangements are assessed separately from repair.
Safe checks and deciding your next step
For checks that do not involve dismantling the appliance, read the microwave safety guidance. If you are weighing up a repair and a replacement, see what affects that decision. Your exact model handbook takes precedence over general guidance.
Details to include with this request
- Model, PNC and microwave/compact-combination type.
- Selected mode, power and observed result.
- Message, door condition and sparking.
- Cabinet/trim kit and access restriction.
Identify the exact AEG model
AEG manuals use the model or product number/PNC to identify the product version. Copy these from safely accessible documents or a label; a feature name alone is not a complete product reference. AEG UK model and PNC manual finder
Copy the complete reference as printed, including any suffix. Use an accessible label or your appliance paperwork; leave built-in units, electrical covers and heavy appliances in place. If the label cannot be reached safely, explain this when you contact us.
For the manufacturer’s explanation of the feature discussed here, see AEG UK appliance support.
If you are considering a replacement
Give the complete model and say whether it is built-in, combination or countertop. Include any cabinet, trim-kit or ventilation details from the product information and describe the fitting help required.

AEG microwave repair questions
Does a working grill prove the microwave function is safe?
No. These are different functions. Report the mode-specific problem, and leave an appliance with sparking or door damage unused pending appropriate assessment.
What is included in the fixed repair call-out?
For a Central London service address, the standard freestanding call-out is £90 plus parts. Integrated appliances of any brand start from £120 plus parts in Central London. Outside Central London, fixed call-out charges start from £75, depending on your appliance's make and model and whether it is freestanding, integrated or another appliance type. Our office confirms the service address and applicable amount by phone before arranging your visit. The agreed charge covers the first visit, repair labour and any return visit needed to fit parts for the same agreed repair. There is no extra labour or repeat call-out charge for that repair. Parts are priced separately and approved before fitting.
What details help with a AEG microwave repair enquiry?
Tell us whether it is built-in, freestanding or a combination appliance and whether it starts, heats, sparks or shows a code. Stop use if it sparks, smokes or has door damage. Never remove the case: internal components can remain dangerous after unplugging.
Local repair visits: M25, Surrey, DA and RM
Our service territory includes addresses inside the M25, all Surrey and every DA and RM postcode, including DA and RM addresses outside the motorway. Coverage is not a promise of an immediate appointment: the office confirms the model, required work and visit arrangements.
Send the full address, appliance details and best visit contact. UKCDA checks the enquiry, explains the applicable charges and confirms an appointment with you. Parts availability and further work are assessed for the individual appliance. The request form does not take payment or reserve a visit.
