microwave issues

Suddenly this week I started having issues with the microwave. It lights up, spins beeps and everything else. But it doesnt seem to be heating up. what should take 30 seconds is taking 2-3 mins. Could this be a power issue. Mid week My surge protector kept hutting down the camper. The staff came out and checked and then stated that I was getting low voltage, around 102. It was very hot this week and the campground was packed. I had to remove my surge protector to keep from losing power. Could this power issue be the cause for the micro not working properly

The low voltage could have damaged your microwave. Always a good idea to have a voltmeter handy - even if your surge protector isn't reporting low.

At times (like this last week) when it's 103 outside, both A/C's are running - and so are everyone else's...., I generally like to see what volts I'm reading at an outlet.
