SOURCE: Kenmore Microwave Oven Sudden Power Reduction
I would be sure to check the microwave's outlet under a load.
One good way is to use a toaster or hair dryer for about a minute to see if they run at full power and run without their heating elements dimming.
If the power at the outlet is steady, I would suggest a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a
minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.
If it still fails to heat properly, I would say you have a failing magnetron, and it would just be a coincidence that the failure began after the new wiring was installed.
If you need to order the magnetron, Sears sells it for $73.13, but you can get it for $41.84 here.

SOURCE: Kenmore Ultra Wave Microwave has no power
after removing the cover of microwave chk for continuty of cavity thermostat usually calld TCO(thermal cut off). it is located on top of the cavity and circular in shape.usually neutral wire goes through this 2 control board and this TCO is for protection of cavity from overheating.if this tco is open.then replace it.usually this happens when u cook for 2 long.
Testimonial: "That was it. I pulled the wires off and tested continuity and the circuit was open no reading. So I bypasssed it and plugged it in and POWER!! $4 cost"

This will require trouble shooting with power present and a qualified individual should do this. Verify power at the plug and trace to the board. It could be a bad wire, loose connection, open cavity thermostat, or a failed board assuming power is available and the fuse is good.

It appears your magneto or power supply has failed in this instance.
For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...
FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.
PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.
If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.
Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.
If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.
Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.
