Who says there are no waves (energy) escaping from your oven. Did you have it tested?
If energy is not escaping, there should be no interference on your WiFi. As there is interference, I would have your microwave oven checked out by a certified technician. High energy EM waves are dangerous even if they do not ionize your cells as one answerer indicated.

The radiation produced by a microwave oven is non-ionizing. As such, it does not have the specific cancer risks associated with ionizing radiation such as X-rays, ultraviolet light, and high-energy particles. Any health problems would result from electric currents induced in the body.
Long-term rodent studies to assess cancer risk have so far failed to clearly identify any carcinogenicity from 2450 MHz microwave radiation at chronic (large fraction of life span) exposure levels, far larger than humans are likely to encounter even from leaking ovens.
Still I try to stay as far away as I can from it, use it as least as possible and wait a minute before consuming something heated in the microwave, (so the *microwave effect* to leave the cup or plate!)

All commercial microwave ovens leak to certain (small) extent. Before you worry about the health effects of your microwave, you might want to think about why it's interfering with your wifi.
It's because your wifi is radiating at the same frequency! Are you worried about that radiation?
