Sounds like your high voltage transformer has a short to ground

Only run the micro on the extension cord for a short time, 10-15 seconds, as the added resistance in the extension cord will trip the breaker as well.


I already tried running the Microwave using the extension cord to a different outlet, it also trips the breaker on that outlet. I did not notice a loud buzzing noise before the breaker trips.

The circuit breaker trips everytime the microwave model #GE JVM1650CH01 is turned on to cook. All other features works, i.e. lights, vents, clock.
