Microwave oven cavities rusting through the bottom due to spillage
and/or condensation can be an issue, and is something to be checked
when inspecting/testing them.


Is that going to blow the fuse?

No (unless it affects the door position or door catches).

Can cause arcing and high heating at the site, as well as
microwave leakage of course.
