Microwave kicks off

our microwave will turn itself off after about 3 minutes. No electricity to it. Have to give it a bit as if cooling down or resetting. If baking a potatoes have to do so in 2 min increments. ?????

Welcome! Are you running the MW oven from an inverter, genny or shore power?

Is the microwave quitting or does it lose power from the outlet that supplies it? It sounds like something is overheating. How old is the microwave?

I've never seen a thermal overload on a MIcrowave... (Does not mean they don't make 'em that way)

Make and model of microwave would help.

What make and model....Sharp had a problem shutting off after 99 seconds
