DW turned on the microwave and it ran for 3 or 4 seconds then went dead. Checked the CB and it had not tripped. Turned off the CB and went to unplug the Advantium. Very difficult to unplug. Looking at the plug I saw why.
Replaced it with a GFIC receptacle.
Took the old receptacle apart and found a loose wire. The attachment of the wires consisted of V shaped connectors. All you have to do is push an insulated wire into the V and it cuts the insulation and makes a connection. I'm guessing one worked loose over time.
