Why does my microwave start working only when the oven has been on?
Question:Weird, both my microwave oven and regular oven are built in, microwave on top of oven.
Microwave will turn itself off, loose power, after about 1 hour of no use.
Now, here is the weird part.
When I turn on the Oven for more than 1 hour the microwave power will come back on and it will ask me to reset the time.
What is going on here?
Answers:
I think you need an electrician to come and check your wiring. The microwave and range should be on separate circuits, by code, and there may be some sort of short going on. Whatever the case, it doesn't sound safe - call an electrician.
It is faulty wiring or some other serious internal damage it needs replacing or an electrician to look at it as that will end up being a huge fire hazard.
