My microwave oven trips the breaker when it cycles. The repairman said, that LG told him, that because the stove clock is on the same line, it could cause interference that'd trip the breaker. The breaker is 20 amp, and the microwave is rated at 14 amps.
I think this is insane. Is it posible the black and white wires feeding the outlet are reversed, causing interference that could trip the breaker? My idea sounds more plausible. The microwave's switches and circuit panel have been replaced. Thank you for your thoughts.

This seems an obvious question, but have you checked what else is on the circuit with the microwave? In my house, I have a TV and all its associated machines, a Roomba, the Christmas lights (only at Christmas), the fridge, the toaster, the coffee maker, and the microwave all on the one circuit! It is insane. I am hoping to get an electrician to add another circuit or two to the panel.
