The SATER service centre at Silmaču iela 6, Riga, has been providing professional Whirlpool and Bauknecht appliance repair for over 30 years — since 1993. The Whirlpool corporation, which also owns the Bauknecht brand, produces a wide range of built-in ovens, induction cooktops and microwave ovens, and our engineers are thoroughly familiar with the specifics of these appliances. We diagnose and resolve the most common faults: heating element burnout in ovens, IGBT transistor failure in induction cooktops, touch control panel malfunctions caused by moisture ingress, oven door hinge breakage, magnetron failure in microwaves, fan motor burnout, thermostat failure and error code diagnostics. Every repair begins with a thorough on-site assessment at our workshop, and we always agree on the cost before starting work. All repairs carry a 3-month warranty. Our heritage traces back to workshop No. 2 of the Soviet-era Elektrons factory, and the decades of accumulated expertise allow us to tackle even non-standard cases. We have 186 Google reviews with a 4.3★ average rating, which speaks to the quality of our work. Call +371 67377002 or bring your Whirlpool or Bauknecht appliance to Silmaču iela 6.

Whirlpool and Bauknecht oven and cooktop repair
The most common problem with Whirlpool and Bauknecht ovens is upper or lower heating element burnout. The element gradually degrades through repeated heat cycles, resulting in the oven failing to reach the set temperature or heating unevenly. Our technicians replace the damaged element, verify the temperature sensor and thermostat operation, and run a full functional test. The most frequent Whirlpool oven error codes are F3 (temperature sensor failure), F5 (door lock issue) and F2 (overheat protection trip).
In induction cooktops the primary failure point is the IGBT power transistors that form the induction current generator. These components are sensitive to voltage surges and overheating. We diagnose each zone individually, replace failed IGBT transistors and check the resonance capacitors and control board. Touch panel failures are often linked to moisture ingress — we clean the contacts, replace membrane switches or the entire control module as needed.
Whirlpool microwave magnetron and control board repair
The key active component of a microwave oven is the magnetron — a high-frequency generator producing 2.45 GHz microwaves to heat food. Magnetron failure is the most common reason a microwave stops heating while the interior light and turntable continue to work. We check the magnetron resistance, high-voltage diode and capacitor, and replace the magnetron when necessary. It is important to note that high-voltage circuit repair is dangerous and must only be performed by a qualified technician — never attempt it at home.
Whirlpool control board faults manifest as unresponsive buttons, an incorrect timer display or a total refusal to execute commands. Our engineers diagnose the board at component level — checking relays, triacs, the microcontroller and power supply. Often the fault is a worn relay or triac whose replacement restores full operation. All repairs carry a 3-month warranty and we always inform the customer about the viability of the repair before starting work.
