How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before moving or inspecting the cord.
- Check circuit load: Ensure the microwave is on a dedicated circuit or not sharing with high-draw appliances (heaters, refrigerators, etc.).
- Try another outlet: Plug the microwave into a different outlet on a separate circuit and test.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks on the cord and plug. Do not use the microwave if the cord is damaged.
- Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes, then test again.
