Kitchen outlet problem

[wvjules]

for that past month or so two of my outlets in the kitchen keep tripping the breaker. The only thing plugged in to either one of them was a microwave. Even after I unplugged the microwave and reset the breaker the outlets still trip the breaker. Oh, and as far as I can tell those two outlets are the only think on that particular circuit. Any ideas what's going on?

Are they (they should be especially if they are near the sink) GFI breaker outlets? Or are you talking about the breaker in the electric panel with all the other breakers?

GFI breakers and regular breakers can go bad oever time. I would have an electrician test/repair the problem.

Breakers will trip more easily after they've been tripped a couple of times. If it's a built in GFCI breaker, it will go bad even faster. Replace the breaker.

Other than that, you could check the outlets; make sure nothing got splashed into them, or broke any of the plastic.
