Decided to exercise the genset. Turned on the microwave to provide a load. Opened the door to turn off the microwave after 10 minutes. Microwave died. Messed with it to no avail; pulled it out; tried it in the garage; worked fine. Tested outlet in the RV. Worked fine. Reinstalled the microwave; worked fine.
Go figure???:?
If this problem recurs, first thing I will do is unplug the microwave for a minute or two. Now, at least, I know where it plugs in.:S

I had a similar thing happen. After running the microwave for a few minutes with a cup of water in it, the unit stopped displaying an error code. I couldn't reset it until I stopped the genset and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Started the genset back up and the code was gone and the microwave worked again.
My guess is the temperature inside our RV was too cold for the microwave to work properly...
