My over the oven GE microwave is 2.5 years old. Just recently I went to use it and about 2-3 seconds into cooking it tripped my 20 amp breaker. I have also tried it on several breakers and they all trip after about 2-3 seconds of running the Microwave. I took the key pad off, removed the fan and checked for any loose wiring, all seemed good. I put it back together and waited until the following night to check it again. Amazingly it worked. But to my disappointment it only lasted 2 days and the problem came back. Any ideas? I really don't want to spend a small fortune on a repair.
Make sure that your microwave is on its own circut breaker meaning nothing shares the plug

My question clearly states that I tried several breakers. My kitchen receptacles are all on individual breakers as well as the one for the microwave. I guess I can't expect free support to read the whole question.
