Recently, I've been having problems with my microwave. It's about 7-8 years old and is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. The problem is that when I go to hit the start button, it cuts off and on very quickly (loses power). I can tell that's what happened because the clock resets. Other than that, it works fine.
When this problem happens, there doesn't seem to be any other electrical equipment running that would cause a problem. It's just typical stuff like a tv, refrigerator, and the heat. I suppose the heat cutting on and off could cause it but it's hard to tell. This doesn't happen often and usually happens when someone hits the start button. Sometimes it will happen several times in a row.
Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this problem?
