How to Troubleshoot a Kitchen Microwave That Shuts Off After a Few Minutes

Microwave Shuts Off After 2-3 Minutes? Here’s What to Check First
When tenants report that their kitchen microwave turns off during operation, don’t jump to replace it—troubleshoot first.
Here’s your go-to checklist for diagnosing and resolving the issue:

• Verify the reported issue by running a test cycle
• Check if the power supply is stable and the breaker hasn’t tripped
• Inspect the microwave for internal component failures (cooling fan, magnetron, etc.)
• Test the microwave after any adjustments or fixes

Efficient microwave repairs can save time and money while keeping tenants happy.
