I have a microwave that now has a huge rusted hole in the center
of the bottom in the inside. Is it still safe to use or can we get sick
using it? My husband seems to think its safe but after my father inlaw
left it running with nothing in it. It had broke the glass and had caught fire
and the hole in the bottom inside is also bigger than before
I dont think its safe to use anymore but since we dnt have the money to get
a new one my husband still uses it. So any info. Will be
greatly appreciated.
