Hi guys,
So I have an IKEA wall mount microwave and the instructions say it will work on a 15 or 20 AMP circuit. In my case I have a dedicated 15AMP circuit, but every once in a while, it will trip. Usually this happens when we are using a "Pasta Boat" to cook pasta, the microwave is set to run for like 14-16 minutes, but about half way through cuts out. I have to go to the basement, reset the breaker, and it finishes the job. This is obviously annoying, and I am trying to figure out why. Is it the microwave...house wiring, or specific situation. When we do the noodles there is a lot of steam inside the microwave and the glass fogs up, which makes me think this is related. Anyone have any insight? I have warranty on the item but don't want to call them until I have more information. Day to day use for warming up meals it's perfectly fine, but anytime it runs for a long period of time and lots of steam, it trips.
