I've never heard that one before. I think that's one of those C Y A statements so you can't come back and sue them later. I'll check with some of the techs today and see if they laugh at me real hard or not...
If you want to do a simple test for sealing, take a piece of notebook paper or a cheap quality index card and close the door on it at several points around the sides of the door. Once closed, try pulling the paper out. If you feel a pretty healthy drag the seal is working. If it slides out with no resistance there might be a problem. Another way you can check is to put a bowl of water in and heat it for 2 or 3 minutes. After it shuts off run your hand around the edges of the door and feel for any steam escaping. If it holds the steam in you are fine. BTW, leave the water to cool before you empty the bowl. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Engebretson To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2007 11:05 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Microwave radiation So, I replaced the door by feeling the new one and comparing it with the old one. Fits on great. Thing is, all the manuals say that the repair should be done by a technician and they should check for leaks. The service center at the store we bought the microwave from doesn't test for microwave leaks. Seems kind of odd... Is there a way for me to do that myself?
