[Small-Appliance-Cooking] Using toaster oven more than usual

Not necessarily.  In my experience, it is often the power strip or surge protector that is defective.  Some cheap units have such low overload threshholds that they will trip off even under normal power consumption conditions.  Instead of assuming that there is a problem with the microwave, I suggest plugging it into a different power strip first before you just chuck it. For instance, I discovered that when I plugged in my microwave into a new power strip that I had purchased at the dollar store, it would trip off after about a minute or two.  And when I plugged in my electric shaver, a very low wattage device, the power strip  would also trip off after about two minutes.  So I purchased a better quality power strip, and I have had no premature trip-offs since then.

Either something is defective, or you are overtaxing your wiring.  To only run an minute, and go off isn't normal.  It is trying to tell you something, and you aren't listening.

  Well, it’s better than nothing, but thanks for the suggestion.

  It sounds like you have to get rid of that microwave.  It doesn’t even sound like the microwave works correctly.  Pam.

  Thanks. The problem is that the microwave I’m using only works when I turn off the serge protecter that it is connected to. Then I turn the serge protecter back on. At that time, the microwave works for 1 minute where then I have to perform the same steps again. I’m not sure if this is even safe to do.
