There are two ways you can fix this. What's happening is you have too much current going through your breaker. You can either move it to a different part of your house or contact an electrician. My preferred method is to get a solar power generator. Yes, this will be expensive, but at least you won't need an electrician. The generator will plug into your outlet. You charge it, then it handles the extra power. It is also quite nice that when you have a blackout, whatever you have plugged in will not die until the battery dies. Now it is up to you; you can buy charging solar panels or just use it as a battery. I use mine to plug in all my security and internet equipment so that it doesn't die. I hope this helps you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, I image you live in a new or newer home with AFCI (arch fault circuit interrupters which is similar to your GFCI [ground fault circuit interrupters] outlet in your bath and kitchen) breakers in your electrical panel. How do you know? Look for a test button in addition to the reset switch on the breaker in your electrical panel (see photo). While they do technically offer you additional protection, home owners did completely fine without them for years and years. They can be replaced with standard breakers very easily but it's not legally up to code. I could be wrong however and you may have a weak or overloaded circuit. I'd recommend a consulting with a handy friend or handy man for advice and service. On a side note, this is a great microwave and wouldn't go back... likely other microwaves will trip the circuit as well.
