Several weeks ago during a storm the built in Kenmore microwave went dead after the house lights flickered. We have a whole house surge protector. I checked the breaker to see if it tripped, it hadn't. For the heck of it I unplugged it and plugged back in and it worked. Since then, if it is used for less than 5 minutes, it keeps working and when it is finished, the display is active. Longer than that and there is a good chance the microwave will finish the task but then the display goes dead. Unplug and plug it back in and it is live again. It never stops working while being used.
The outlet has 123v per my multimeter.
I imagine something is overheating in the microwave, but why does it come back to life when it is unplugged and p!ugged in?
