So I bought a new microwave.. a GE.. not much
fancy.. White, a turntable... it heats..
But it has a "feature" I just hate.
when it finishes the cycle. it beeps..
then if you do not run and open the door it beeps. at 30 seconds.
then every minute until you open the Damb door
so If I am in the shower,getting the mail..
on BN
it
beeps

loud..
anyone else??

it works.. i can live with the "feature"..
I just wonder how much the 'stuff" we don't want/need
adds to the total cost of the things we buy..

we have a GE Spacesaver....goes above the stove. It does the same thing, and YES, it's annoying

My Panasonic goes BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, then stops.
At least you'll never forget and leave food in there overnight.

...and mine will repeat that BEEP-BEEP-BEEP every 3 minutes
..sometimes I'll let it continue this ...in sheer stubborn defiance... to show it who's really in control

Open it up and cut the wires to the speaker. It needs to be stopped.

"oh, mom this is good!, and what do you have waiting in the microwave?"

Luckily ours doesn't do that. I'd have to throw something at it.
But Santa? What do you cook when you're in the shower or getting mail??

We have a television in the bedroom that has a green LED on the front that is on when the set is plugged in. Its covered with duct tape now.

You get your mail in the shower? I'm lucky to get it in the mailbox. I think your beeping microwave is the least of your Problems
