Since I rearranged my living room and put my electronics on a different wall, I'd trip a breaker if I made anything in my microwave when the TV is on.
Oddly, I can heat something up in the microwave, if it's done fairly shortly. This actually made it harder for me to remember, because I didn't have to turn off the TV every time I used the microwave.
Well, the 3rd or 4th time it happened, after I reset the breaker I was setting the clock on the microwave and was setting it to the time on the oven, which is right next to the microwave. It dawned on me that the oven had it's own outlet, on a separate circuit! It's a gas oven and only uses elec. for the burner igniters, oven thermostat and the clock! (I think it has a timer too, but I've never used it)
I pulled the oven out from the wall and saw the outlet, about 2 feet off the floor, with an open outlet! I unplugged the microwave from the outlet above the backsplash and plugged it into the outlet behind the oven.
I pushed the oven back to the wall... but it didn't go all the way. The oven cord has a 90 degree plug, but the microwave didn't.
So I went to the big box hardware store. The only 90 degree replacement plugs they had either had the cord going in the one way I couldn't use it (going away from the ground prong) or they were industrial duty and very big. So I thought a bit and then bought a 'regular' replacement plug w/ ground.
I carefully drilled 3 holes in the top of the replacement plug. I cut off 6" of the microwave plug (so I can use it for something else). I cut back the outer casing of the cord and fed the wires thru the holes in the replacement plug. I stripped the wires and connected them to the plug (green wire is ground).
Then I cut down the part of the replacement plug where cord was 'suppose' to come out.
Plugged it in, pushed the oven back and set the clock on the microwave.
