MICROWAVE RECEPTICAL

Well my microwave was plugged into the receptical and then the microwave came on and the shut off in the middle of heating somethimg up. No blown fuses, no tripped breakers that I can see. The microwave does work on another receptical. What next?

Was the microwave on one of the GFI receptacles? I’ll bet if you reset the GFI the microwave will work again. On my Wildcat the GFI reset is on the receptacle by the bathroom sink.

I was not on a gfi. I tried that anyway just in case and it still doesn't work.

My only other suggestion would be to turn the circuit breaker for the microwave off and then back on. If that doesn't work you'll have to check the wiring at the outlet.

I've taken those plugs apart before. It is very possible that the wire isn't making good contact with the plug. It's a pretty cheap setup.

Take another look at your breaker feeding the Micro. It can be tripped and hard to see. Reset it regardless. Meaning push it as far as it will go the in opposite direction of on and then push it back to the "on" position.

If no luck, you more than likely have a loose connection at the receptacle, breaker or nuetral bus bar in the panel.

Thanks I will try those thing on Friday when I get set up at the CG.
