Why Your Microwave Oven May Not Working

Identifying Why a Microwave Outlet Is Not Working

• We plugged it into another outlet and it worked fine. He replaced the outlet and it still does not work.
• Furthermore, although the circuit breaker has not been tripped, three of the outlets on that circuit are out and one is still working.
• We are at a loss as to what would cause three of them to be out and not the fourth.

Any ideas?
Thanks
