I just looked up specs on a 23' GE SXS and it is rated 120v/15A/60 Hz. The microwave runs on 10A if a 1200w like mine. Add the two together and you have an overload for a 20A ckt. The starting surge on the SXS is in addition to the ratings.
The SXS is supposed to be on a separate 20a ckt and the uwave usually sharing one of the two or more kitchen 20A circuits over the drainboard.
On getting hot, the frig. condenser coils are either behind or beneath the unit. I think on SxS they are on the bottom and fan cooled. Usually the freezer condenser coils are connected to the steel shell and are radiant/natural convection cooled so yes the sides of the box will get hot when running. The frig coils require cleaning periodically also.
If this problem just started occurring then yes you may have a problem. Don't overlook a sensitive breaker as a source. Also don't overlook dirty condenser coils under the box.
At your earliest convenience I'd opt to separate the loads.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
