Oxide within the microwave
If your microwave is not operating well, it might be a sign, due to the rust inside it. If left unfixed, the metal under the rust can be exposed to creating sparks or arching, and if arching persists repeatedly, it damages the microwave.
Microwave energy exposure
Many agencies and health organizations, such as the US Occupational Health and Safety Administration, have researched to prove if the exposure to microwave energy is carcinogenic or not. The electromagnetic energy of products most commonly used in microwaves and cell phones could be responsible for damage to neurological and reproductive systems. As a result of many investigations, experts agree that if the appliance is in good working condition, then the exposure to microwave energy from the furnaces is minimal.
Painting the microwave
The microwave should be replaced, repainted or fixed by a technician if rust and flakes appear and paint peels. Even so, the microwave should be replaced or repainted. The inside of a microwave can be painted with epoxy paint if you choose to take the painting job. This product is widely available in home improvement stores. This is probably a job for a professional if you do not have experience.
Microwave risks
The hazards of microwaves do not come from rust. Experts say the greatest danger for microwave users is the possibility of severe burns. Microwaves heat foods and liquids at very high temperatures quickly. Furthermore, microwave cooking can provoke hot spots due to uneven cooking. Unless it is stirred, some parts of a microwave meal may be cold and not fully cooked, while others may be very hot.
