I was wondering whether someone had a similar experience: the microwave keeps tripping up the mains switch and leaving me in the dark! Happened for the first time yesterday, once more today. Usually only the circuit breaker for the relevant ring main gets tripped, in which case the lights, etc. wouldn't go out, however, in this case, it's tripping up the mains switch for the whole box.
It doesn't happen all the time, last night I managed to use the microwave and it was working fine this morning, then it tripped the switch AFTER I'd finished heating something up! :rant:
Does this mean its time to buy a new microwave? Or could it be a fault with the electrical system? I think I bought the oven in 2008, so it's old but not ancient like other people's.
