Ahole, how did that happen anyway?
Basically, you need to use screws and a bit of metal. The piece has got to
be seen as part of the whole. Most ovens interior size is cavity which
loads the Magnetron to some extent, but there are always areas that are
more concentrated where standing waves and cancellations occur, hence the
need for a turntable to move the food around through these variable areas.
actually the leakage from a small hole is not as great as you might think.
Often it depends on where the whole is and the design of the cavity.
A small patch should be tolerated as long as it is seen as part of the
cavity wall.

I know this is a very dated post, however I'd like to post a more
constructive
reply.
Q: how to "*/_repair_/*" a hole in a microwave oven?
The internet is a network of information, unfortunately we did not find it
here, I will continue my research into this topic, I will update my reply
when
I have a tried and tested repair method(s), ***for now, for all of us who
share this problem I recommend following the warning signs on the kitchen
appliance (do not place mental or foods that increase in pressure has they
cook ect.) if the hole in the microwave oven is bigger then 2 inches for
your
safety I recommend */_not_/* using the microwave oven, if the hole is 2
inches
or smaller I recommend keeping it isolated (away from anything that's a
fire
hazard), putting it in a clay or dish tray and leaving the kitchen while
your
meal is prepared.***
This is just my opinion and I do not wish to impose it on to anyone, it's
easy
to through money at problem rather then maintain it, I believe there's no
harm
in trying to be self-sufficient and acquire a new skill.
I hope this helps everyone a bit.
Thank you for the thread MM.
