Our over the range kenmore microwave started freaking out. It powers off and back on randomly. When I say powers off, I mean completely. Clock goes off and everything. Then, it comes back on and continues cooking. It doesn't reset, just shuts off then comes back. The outage lasts only a second or 2. Any ideas? Thanks!

Ok, since I've not had any replies, I thought I'd post some more info. After a few days of the weird stopping and restarting, it lost all power. It is completely unresponsive now. No power what so ever.

Would this be a fuse? Any ideas?

Unlikely its a fuse....have you checked the power where it is wired/plugged in? Sounds more like a bad connection, either external or internal. If the power coming to it is steady and correct, then it could be the electronics inside.
