Help,
Our Microwave/convection oven quit working. I began troubleshooting and here is what I found:
- I checked my wall outlet and there is no AC Power at the outlet.
- I moved the plug of the microwave to another outlet and it is working
- I check the AC breaker and it looked okay. I reset the breaker for the microwave and two other outlets that had things plugged into them quit working. This indicated to me the breaker is okay as when I reset the breaker the other outlets on the same circuit started working again.
- I took the wall outlet for the microwave out and took it apart and metered the wires on the back and still had a 0 reading.
- I checked the wires connected to the breaker and they are connected and tight on the breaker.
My conclusion is the circuit is open somewhere between the back of the wall plug and the breaker.
Question - Is there a junction box somewhere between the plug and the breaker?
Is my troubleshooting correct? Any other ideas?
The microwave is not on a slideout but on a fixed wall next to the refrigerator also on a fixed wall.
