Holes inside Siemens IQ700 Microwave, Are these holes causing the microwave to switch off?
So my ~11 year old Siemens IQ700 microwave oven has developed a number of small holes right through the enamel & metal on the inside - I noticed these when the microwave developed an issue where after running for a couple of seconds it resets itself and goes back into standby mode - the oven and grill functions work perfectly its literally only the microwave function. My question is, if i repair these holes will the resetting issue be fixed and if so what is the preferred method to fix them? - i can open it up and repair from the inside, probably using aluminum tape or something and then touch up the enamel

It's possible that the holes are causing the problem, but it's also possible they'd been there for a while and you only noticed them because your microwave is broken.
In any case, if you try to repair the holes, you run the risk of accidentally creating a resonant circuit which could start a fire. You've gotten a good eleven years out of this microwave; now it's time to buy a new one.
