Default Microwave oven and electric Range in operation


wrote in message
oups.com...
In my new GE microwave oven atop the electric range the turn table
slows down and the surface light dims when the range comes on. The
two appliances are on separate circuits (50 amp and 20 amp). What
could be causing this? Thanks.


Voltage drop, but now you have to figure out why. It is possible you are
not getting full voltage to begin with. It is possible you have other loads
on at the same time, like central AC, clothes dryer, power tools. You may
have a bad connection. At a minimum, you need a meter to accurately check
the voltage and go from there.
