To check the seal on the oven door, first inspect the rubber gasket around the door for any visible signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Close the door and make sure it seals tightly; you can use a piece of paper or a dollar bill to test the seal by sliding it between the door and the oven body—if it pulls out easily, the seal may be compromised. Additionally, look for any gaps or misalignments when the door is closed. If the seal is damaged, it may need to be replaced for optimal heat retention.

Can microwaves leak out of a microwave oven?

Yes, microwaves can leak out of a microwave oven. The microwaves are directed into the cavity (the cooking space) of the oven, but they can leak around the seal provided by the door. The door seal is the most probable and common place for leaks to appear. (Most of the rest of the cavity construction does not lend itself to "breakdown" and microwave leakage.) It's not a good idea to slam the door of a microwave oven shut. Shut it gently. And never lean on the door, not when it's shut, and never when it's open. You and the other users of the appliance have control over how it is treated. If you have doubts about the integrity of the door of your oven, call a repair center in your area. Ask about checking for leaks, and they'll give you the scoop. It is cheaper to take a unit in for a leakage check than to have someone come out. Additionally, the meter used by the professional to do this costs a ton of money and has to be calibrated at least annually. (That's why there's a fee associated with the check.) If you (and others) use your oven per the manufacturer's instructions and take care of it, leaking microwaves should not be an issue. But anything that damages the door may affect its seal, and a check is in order.

What does a microwave leak dector do?

It checks that no microwaves have escaped from the oven. Microwaves are harmful to living flesh. Not only will it cook you, as it does in the oven, but even small doses can cause eye cataracts. The door seal has a mesh, that will trap the microwave radiation. The mechanical size of the mesh is designed to interfere with the radio wave length. The door seals can get damaged with use and as radio waves are invisible, no one would know there is a problem. By moving a microwave leak detector around the door seal and cabinet, you can check to see that the oven is safe. The device can also be used for radar systems, that use wave guides up to the scanner, to check joints.
