Re: problem with 20a electric outlet

I think it's on its own circuit. The breaker is actually labeled
'microwave' and nothing else tripped when I shut it off.

Looks like I'll have to get someone in to take a look at it.

Thanks for the response,

mike

You need to find where the power to that outlet is originating, and check
the neutral connection. If its in a panel, check the neutral buss, or if it
was tapped from an outlet in the kitchen, check there

Our oven hood recently stopped working. I tested the outlet and it was
showing an 'open neutral' on the tester.

I replaced the outlet but its showing the same error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time,

Mike
