Built-in microwave sounds sick

My built-in Microwave in my 2005 trailer recently started sounding sick. It sounds like its slow to startup and the microwave light inside goes dim. It still works but has the appearance and sound of loosing power somewhere.

I thought it was because of my weak trailer batteries, which I fixed, but it still does it. Even if I'm connected to shore power or the generator is running.

I have a voltage gauge plugged in one of the outlets and when the microwave is on it plummets into the red.

The convertor is a 60 amp Progressive Dynamics with the Charge Wizard.

Is there something I should be looking for?

  • Sounds like the microwave going bad. Pull it out and plug it into your house to test it.
  • I have no problem replacing the microwave.....as long as it needs to be replaced. Spending money on a new micro just to find out that wasnt the problem isnt what I want to do.
  • You have a 14 year old microwave. May be time to replace it.
