I know that the magnetron works using radio waves that are
converted and other tech issues.
I have recently replaced a panasonic microwave, a few months ago,
with an identical one.
This one always seemed to get hotter on the outside then the old
one. We used to keep bread and even fruit on pottery on the top, and it
would always stay cool. The new one gets very, very warm, and almost cooks
the bread after a while.
I brought it in for servicing three times, and they tell me
nothing is wrong with it, yet you can feel warm air coming out from around
the door area.
Panasonic wont do anything about it, and the retailer wont take it
back.
QUESTION
Even though they said they tested for microwave leakage,
and said there was none, I am not fully convinced. If there is some leakage
of rays, are they harmful, if you are in the kitchen, when it is on? Should
I dump the thing? It is a nice stainless steel model, (biggest size they
have-).

Thanks to all
