I have a fridge and a microwave on my cheap 1600 watt whistler inverter.Works fine.You don't have some thing hooked up right or that inverter is no good.I like this Whistler inverter

I prefer a toaster oven never had a problem heats better than a microwave and best of all I'm never tempted to whip up a batch of that nasty microwave popcorn thinking that somehow Orville redenbacher finally made it less vile
Ace Brothstein, Straight Stacks and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this. -
Is the wiring large enough to supply the inverter ?
Some items require a pure sine wave inverter, but I've never had a problem running a microwave on a modified sine wave inverter.
I had one microwave that would do what yours is doing, just turned out to be that the door wasn't completely closing properly. -
I just changed trucks and my microwave worked fine in my other truck... Turns out in this truck I have to have the engine running to power the inverter to supply the microwave with enough power to actually run.
So, maybe try it with the engine running?
That's all I got... Good luck!!! -
Thanks for all the replies but it works fine with other Microwaves just not this whirlpool space saver I just purchased
