    My microwave is the other way around, the door can always be opened. And if you have the timer set, it will stay lit up and spinning, even with the door open.

    So OP’s method wouldn’t work for me. I got scared the first time, but I think the magnetron turns off when the door is opened… but I haven’t tried testing that theory.

      Your microwave is the reason that the child lock thing is now the default. If the door sensor fails and you open the door the microwave just keeps running and blasts your face with liquid hot magma non ionizing radiation.

      Smarter companies just use two door sensors and error out if either fails.
