Why won't popcorn pop in my microwave?

WARNING!

To avoid personal injury or death, disconnect your appliance from its power source before you start any troubleshooting or repair work. Use caution when working inside any appliance.

If you're trying to pop popcorn, and it just won't pop, your microwave may not have enough wattage, or the popcorn may be stale. Microwaves need at least 500 Watts of power to heat popcorn enough to pop.
