Microwave ovens can work for decades. They can fail for a variety of reasons related to malfunctions in the electronics, but they are generally pretty tough. But that doesn't mean they can be roughed up. Avoid slamming the door. Don't use metal inside unless the manufacturer's directions permit it. Cover all items that can possibly splatter. Keep the cavity clean. Food thrown around the cavity can continue to cook even if it's stuck to the inside, and, though the cavity is steel, the door most likely isn't. The door and the window are vulnerable to damage from shock (slamming the door) and from heated food that can melt portions of the assembly. The door shuts to press against the front of the cavity and form a microwave seal by virtue of the spacing. If damaged by stress or heat, there might be a problem. Microwave leakage is undesirable for exactly the reason you think it is. Direct any questions or doubts at a local appliance person. Phone calls are pretty cheap if not actually free. That's within the budget of most people.

Best cookware for cooking in a microwave?
Examine the packaging to be sure, but all stainless and cast-iron cookware are oven and broiler safe. Non-stick cookware is safe up to about 450 degrees F. But the non-stick coating can begin to melt at that point. So don't put it under the broiler. This rule holds true for just about any brand with one exception. Calphalon Infused Anodized cookware does not have a traditional nonstick coating and is oven safe up to the melting point of aluminum according to Calphalon's website.
Are pots and pans microwave safe?
In general, non-microwave-safe cookware is non-microwave-safe not because of any toxic compounds or fumes the cookware may emit during cooking, but because the material used to make the pot cannot withstand the high temperatures caused by the microwaves. If you've ever microwaved an antique dish or plate, for example, you know it can get really hot. Over time, this weakens many pieces, and the piece (bowl, cup, plate, whatever) will crack sooner than if you'd not used it in the microwave. Plus, it'll burn you when you take it out of the microwave. In addition, dishware with metallic trim (gold or platinum) can emit sparks in the trim area, which is not good for both the plate and the microwave oven itself.
