I have a circuit breaker that won't switch back on for my microwave.
It has gone off a couple of times in the past few years, but now it
won't switch on. Do these switches go bad singly, since the rest of
them are fine, or is there some trick besides an electrician to switch
it back on. TIA

Circuit breakers can go bad and it has been my observation that those with
large continuous loads seem to fail more than those with less of a load.
Before you change the circuit breaker, unplug your microwave oven and then
try and reset the breaker. If it resets with the microwave unplugged, you
may have a problem with the appliance.
