I open it to prevent the beeping. I'd press stop but that beeps too.

Most (probably) all microwaves can be silenced. Usually by holding the "2" botton for 3 seconds.
Wtf... Today I learned...
I learned it on TikTok. It worked 🤷♂️
I'll give that a go. Figured it just wasn't possible unless it has a button for it. Thanks for the tip.
Same. And there is no way to turn off the beeping. So frustrating.
Google the brand and/or model number of your microwave they usually can be silenced.
New fear unlocked.
not the reason why i dont own one but seems like a good excuse
I had read recently that opening the door while it's running triggers an emergency shutoff that is quicker than normal operation. Apparently this is bad for the longevity of the microwave.
Thats what big microwave wants you to think! /s
