prop mgmnt co. sent me to a call where tenant wants reimbursement for a microwave she claims faulty receptacle caused it to burn out. Of course they sent a handyman before me to swap out GFCI, now asked me to doublechk electrical. He installed Gfci fine as it was a no brainer dead end. My findings, GFCI fine, polarity throughout kitchen fine, checked panel and kitchen is not a multiwire circuit so not a neutral issue plus all was tight and its a 2 year old building brand new panel and electrical which looks good. I never saw recept which was replaced but even if it was faulty could that burn out a microwave? My thought is shes just trying to get a free microwave as she of course threw it away so I couldnt see it. Any thoughts on possible causes? Again electrical checks out ok and its a 2 wire circuit not multiwire
