My microwave oven is almost 10 years old. I didn't notice a change in
the way it works, but I am still concerned whether there is a
"radiation leak" after so many years in operation. Any expert advice
will be appreciated.

thanks


DD I wouldn't worry about it. Even a microwave oven with a damaged seal
DD is unlikely to cause health problems.


Microwaves are good for us! We even get them for free from space!

Okay, unlikely to cause a health problem in the immediate but what
about 10 years on? So if it doesn't hurt you today should we then
consider it 100% safe? How are you going to link a cancer with that
early exposure you forgot all about? No way, right?!
