Abstract
A wet prevention apparatus for a sensor of a microwave oven is disclosed, which prevents wet from occurring in a sensor for use in a microwave oven without a separate driving gear. In a microwave oven including a cooking chamber, and a machine chamber isolated from the cooking chamber by an isolation wall having a sensor hall, wherein a sensor case having a sensor therein and a fan are mounted in the machine chamber, the wet prevention apparatus for a sensor of the microwave oven includes an air receiving member for moving by air flow which occurs when driving the fan, and a blocking member linked to the operation of the air receiving member, for selectively blocking the sensor hole.
