I cooked popcorn too long causing the microwave to smoke. After several days, I used again but eventually the microwave began to trip the breaker when I pressed START. Now, I am not able to use it at all because it continues to trip the breaker.

5 First thing you need to look at is, is anything else on the second circuit also? The frig or coffee maker or anything else? IF you plugged it into another outlet and tripped the same breaker, it is not going to solve the problem. Microwave, coffee maker, griddle, fryer, toaster, toaster oven, or anything else that has a heating element in it is going to trip the breaker. IF you tripped a different breaker the second time then it could be your microwave. However I have seen breakers trip due to improper wiring with two circuits on the same neutral. Best thing to do is take it into another room like the living room and give it one more test. IF it trips another breaker it is time to take it in for repair or do the old American toss out and get a new one. If it does not trip a breaker then call the electrician. Either problem is going to cost you a couple big ones unless you get a cheap microwave.
