We tested the plug the microwave it plugged into, and it is working fine. the problem in with the microwave itself. it is a Whirlpool WMH1162XVQ-1, we have had it a little over 1 year. It has had no abuse, but we have used it's defrost function sometimes. this shouldn't be happening, so what is going on?
