i have even moved the microwave and plugged it into an outlet on a different breaker thinking that it might just be overloaded but it still does it. it will do it even when its the only thing on plugged in to any outlet on a breaker.

If there is nothing else plugged in on that circuit it could be a problem with the microwave itself. Breakers trip when too much amperage is being drawn. Also maybe the circuit your on can't handle the amps. Check your fuse box and if the circuit your on is 10amps then move your microwave to a circuit that is 15 or 20 amps. If this doesn't fix it then something is wrong with your microwave.
Good Luck!!!

You have two choices, either find a heavier cuircut (IE 20amp instead of 15) or buy another microwave that is rated less watts.
However, a more foolish man may try installing a 20 amp breaker in place of the 15 (not highly recommended).
Or maybe a brand new breaker of the same size will do the trick.

You have an internal problem with the microwave. They draw a lot of current. There are high voltage capactors inside, they can short internally and trip a breaker too. I can be a wire touching too. I think it is best to replace the microwave.

If the circuit for the toaster oven nonetheless works then you definately have a case of decrease back feed with the help of the microwave circuit and it should be repaired with the aid of a qualified specialist electrician. If the toaster oven circuit and the microwave both bypass off then the recent outlet isn't on a committed circuit and it will be repaired with the aid of the qualified specialist electrician.

probably your microwave. but what else is running when you use it? we have a weak breaker at the main box so if the washer/drier/dishwasher and oven are on at the same time it flips the main. They are all on separate breakers in the house. Have someone check your microwave first.

I would venture to guess that the microwave needs to be replaced. It is drawing so much electricity that it is tripping your circuit breaker.
Sounds like a fire hazard.

Drawing to many amps for breaker unsafe don't use it until you check it out

high voltage system overloading... possible its the transformer or capacitor in it. have a appliance technician check it out, not recommended for someone who doesn't understand the system to work on.
