I pushed the white wire back in its channel and plug is back working.
I didn't have a remodel electrical box and plug to replace it all with a standard residential style plug but will do so if it causes me problems again.
Thanks all for the comments

I'm glad you found and fixed the problem. I'd make a trip to the hardware store and have the parts ready to make a switch when the problem returns. There is a lot of current passing through a very small surface area, and I'd suspect after some heating and cooling from the high wattage microwave and bouncing down our "wonderful" PA highways, it could happen again.
