Why does my microwave not turn on when plugged in?
The Microwave isn’t turning on as usual If your microwave fails to turn on as usual it might be because the GFCI switch needs to be reset.

Why does my microwave keep tripping circuit breaker?
The turntable motor enables your microwave to cook food uniformly. It’s possible that when you put your food in the microwave, liquid of some kind ran under the turntable and you then forgot to clean it up. This liquid could have ended up finding its way to the motor, causing it to leak electricity and trip the circuit breaker.
What to do if you lose power but no breaker?
