Why does the Microwave not turn off?

My guess is that it's defective. The one I had was; it quit working just over 6 months after I bought it. I recycled it as the trash that it was and bought a different brand. Based on my experience I would never buy another Hamilton Beach microwave again.

The microwave will wait for a while before reminding you with an additional beep ( not continuous beeping ). That works well for me, because there are times that I get busy and forget. Hope that answers your question. sunnyday

If a microwave oven stops heating the food, but works in all other respects, this is likely an indication that the magnatron (the part that puts out the microwaves) or the high-voltage diode has failed. It's a very straightforward fix for a repair shop, but many times the replacement parts cost nearly as much as a whole new unit.

I did not notice any.Microwave ovens draw allot of current not sure whether this would be appropriate for them.

The one I bought worked 90 seconds, died, and I sent it back. I don't think the microwave had anything to do with the failure.

In traditional microwave ovens, cooking power is controlled by cycling energy to an internal device called a magnetron. Magnetrons can only deliver a full burst of energy, so when you set your microwave to low, the magnetron is turned off part of the time and on part of the time. Inverter microwaves allow for fine-tuned control of the heat for a constant steady cooking temperature, and this helps them work more effectively.

My guess is that we're given a specific heat time for our microwaves, and if you reheat it before it's completely cooled down you run the risk of overheating it, and it could possibly burst a seam or something.

I had the same problem & would have to stand by & keep pressing start. I had it checked, to no avail. I gave up & bought a new microwave.....

You have to unplug it to shut it off. Otherwise it just switches over to the "warm" setting and stays on.

You can not see inside the microwave when the door is closed. It doesn't have a window.

it turns itself off automatically after the water boils. it boils so fast, quicker than a microwave, i love it!

Yes it turns off cooking mode automatically when the rice is done, but continues to stay warm mode until you unplug. The button pops up and the light inidcator changes when it is done cooking.

I've had mine over a year and it is never turned off. I've had no issues except for a scratchy pot from it sitting in the same position. Moving it back and forth solves the issue. Amplifier sounds good and runs cool.

This happened to me when I got a new high-powered microwave. What I ended up doing was experimenting with the power levels. What has worked for me now is setting my power to 5, and then popping for 3:30. Works like a charm now, but a bit of a pain unfortunately.

Automagically goes to keep "Keep Warm" when cooking time selected is completed. Never looked for an off switch, I just unplug it when cooking completed/ready to serve.

Maybe you're cooking too long? Does yours turn off automatically? Bc mine doesn't.

Sorry for the delay. I never realized this option was available on ANY microwave and being quitethe Luddite had to consult the owners manual and would have to confirm that it is NOT an option.
