I have a six year old Sharp R-510 AK microwave, rated at 1000 watts output, 1500 watts or 13 amps input. It has started to blow the circuit breaker quite often. Should I replace the 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp? The oven seems to run for a few minutes before tripping, so it doesn't seem like a dead short.
