Verify the power cord is connected to a polarized, grounded, and operational outlet.  

If you are not sure the outlet is grounded and operational and is easily accessible, connect a known operating small appliance with a similar power cord to the outlet to verify the outlet is grounded and operational.

OR

  1. Power the unit down by unplugging the power cord to the microwave or by turning off the circuit breaker for one (1) minute. 
  2. Power the unit up by plugging-in the microwave power cord or by turning on the circuit breaker. 

If the outlet is not grounded and operational you may have to contact a qualified electrician.

Has the fuse or circuit breaker tripped?
