Hi...

I have a new GE microwave (built-in)that was damaged by a sawzall. The
saw
went through the back of the microwave, leaving a gash about 2 inches long
and a couple of centimeters wide. This goes through to the inside of the
oven (I can see daylight through the hole).

Is this dangerous to use as is? If so, what is the best repair method?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Open it up and make sure there was no internal damage, chafed wires, holes
in the oven cavity or waveguide, etc. So long as the insides are intact
it'll be fine to use. Personally I would get a piece of steel sheetmetal at
a hardware store and rivet it over the gash just in case.
