The issue of holes in Microwaves does beg the question how did the hole get
there in the first place of course. I stand by my method. I assume one can
still buy those microwave leak detectors. The most likely place for the
microwaves to leak is at the door bottom which tends to rust away.
Short term, ie ten seconds or less exposure is not going to do you much harm
as you measure the leakage.
Remember its a party trick in radar labs to heat up your sandwhiches using
the open end of a waveguide when it is connected to a magnetron. :-)

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.
That site's info re hole size & leakage is complete ballcocks.
