Does the light stay on when you open the door after the food is done cooking?

The light goes off after the cooking is done but always comes on when the door is opened.

No, the toaster does not turn off when you open the door...I just tested it to make sure.

The light comes on when the door is open. The light will stay on all night if you forget to close the door. It is on when the unit is running.

No, the light will remain off only until you close the door and press "start" only then will you see the light. This was also mentioned by other reviewers and so I know its not just me. I guess Panasonic engineers didn't think this was of no importance.

It will go off once its up to temperature and will cook food without the green light on. Once you add something of another temperature the green light will go on.

No. The temperature gauge is above the light and the light only comes on when the lid is in the open position.

Yes. The steps are equipped with an under step light. The light goes on as the steps extend and off when they retract. If you lock the steps in the extended position the light goes on when the door opens and off when the door closes. Nice touch!

No, a blue light does go on however and goes off when the toast is done. You do hear easily hear the toast pop up also.

Yes, the light comes on when the door opens. And there is a turntable in this microwave as well. I have had mine for a year and it works great.

I leave mine set to the on position always. There's a motion sensor so the light stays on & will automatically go off after about 30 seconds after closing my door. Otherwise, depending on what you're using it for you could mount on wall or door & keep in off position & then manually turn on when you need it.

No, the light does't come on when the door is opened. I was told that the 1250 watt has a light but mine is only 1200 watts. But I have no problems so far with it. Just the inconvience of the light.

Yes sir for as long as you keep your hand moving inside the cupboard, the light sensor activates by movement and heat dissipated from your hand and shuts off shortly after you close the cabinet. I have two and they work fine just by passing my hand under the light

The light goes off when you open the door which I LIKE because I can keep the door ajar, save power and prevent wear on the door switches which are often the first point of failure.

Light does not turn on when you open the door. It is only on while microwave is running.

NO. But what I did, is used the delay function timed to come on later. If I didn't make it home when the food was done, the MaxiMatic switches to Keep Warm.

just like a refrigerator door, car door, glove box door. It has a spring loaded switch that is held off and doesn't make contact when the door is closed. Once the door is open the switch is moved (by the spring) to make a complete circuit, thus the light comes on.
