Lately I've been noticing that when the microwave cycles on half-power
setting, the lights in the kitchen and every where else on that

turning on the kitchen light makes the other room lights flicker.

Are they dimming and then growing brighter, or just shutting off and
on? Are they florencent?


I suspect a short, but since nothing ever trips a circuit breaker, it

A short should have tripped yoru breaker, so let's hope your breaker
first is working ok. If you think you have shorting or arcing
problems, I would immediatly get professional electrician to check.
Cheaper to have a sevice call than a fire. Don't PANIC, just be
proactive.

repair. Does anybody have any suggestions for tracking down this
problem?
