Microwave short?

Seems the gremlin is back :devilish: this time in the microwave. This morning the microwave glitched three times. The darn thing acted like it had a short; powering down then immediately back on with a beep and the clock resetting. It happened when we plugged in the toaster and again when we plugged in the small coffee pot.

We are plugged in to 50amp
I checked the EMS-PT50X and had no error codes
The microwave was not in use when this happened
I confirmed it was securely plugged in
No other AC appliances were drawing power at the time except the toaster then the coffee pot that I’m aware of.
It hasn’t done this since and now the AC is running normally.
It is a Furrion model: FMSMA17-SS

Anyone experience this type of thing in their rig?

I am wondering IF your microwave isn't the first priority on your load shedding device? When I use my microwave, it sheds my GFCI outlets (Any toaster or coffee pot)..yours is doing the opposite.

I should have mentioned we’ve been on the road since June 1st. Since then we’ve run off a generator, 30amp, and currently (no pun intended) 50amp power sources. The toaster has been used almost daily as has the coffee percolator. Today was the first time this ‘glitch’ occurred. Both ACs are running now and the microwave has been acting normal without resetting since this AM. :rolleyes: Hence the gremlin
