I renovated my kitchen and the microwave used to trip the GI outlet. I called the contractor who did the wiring and he did something and said "the GI outlet will never trip again". he bypassed the GI trip outlet and directly connected the microwave socket to the wire some how. Now the GI outlet does not trip but the microwave trips. It can run for max
5 minute and then it shuts down for another 10-15 minutes. what could be the problem? what can I do? We just redid the walls, electric work, and the kitchen is new. It will be a big disaster if we have to remove the cabinets and tear down the walls. The mirowave is above the stove and the microwave is plugged into an outlet box which is new and the wire comes out of the wall into the cabinet.- posted
