Last week I posted about my wildfire generator not powering up the Dometic microwave and have been fiddling with it ever since. The micro worked fine with shore power but not with the genny. I went as far as trying a total of 3 different size and brand gennys with no luck. I ended up pulling the micro out of the TT any plugging it directly into the generator. Still nothing. So that eliminated anything with TT wiring and such. I went into the house and grabbed the Whirpool micro outta the kitchen and plugged it into the genny and voila it worked. Upon further inspection it was the exact same size as the Dometic. I unscrewed the mount from the Dometic, installed it on the Whirlpool(screw holes even matched)and put it in the TT. I wonder how long it'll take the wife to figure theres a different micro in the kitchen? So there must be something in the electronics of the micro that wasnt too fond of the genny. Dont know how many others may have this problem but thought I'd share what I'd found.
