Does the light remain ON when the door is opened?

Yes. Mine does. But I don't leave it open for extended periods so I don't know if it would go off after a while or not.

Here is how it works on this microwave: When the microwave is running, that is, it is cooking, the internal light is on. When the microwave stops cooking, the light goes off. When the door is open, the light is on and remains on as long as the door is open. I have left the door open for several minutes and the light stays on (that is, it doesn't time out after some period of time as far as I can tell).

No it does not. I cannot recommend this unit, especially if you have children in the house. The unit stays on when the door is open, a real hazard.

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

No, the light is operated by the switch independent of the opener (you can even use it without an opener). The light will stay on until you turn it off.

Like all other microwaves, the light does come on when the door is opened. It also is on when running.

Mine is automatic. When you open the door so far, it stays open until you pull it closed. We don't have a switch or anything like that.

Mine only lights when you press keys and for a short while afterwards. It works very well, nice to be able to open gate when going away with someone else and not have to carry remote with me. I really like mine..

There is a plunger on the back (opposite end of the bulb) that pushes in when the door is closed. Same as a refrigerator interior light. Great item!

Yes. It has a light that goes on and off as the heater does. But not a light when its just plugged in. Only when its on.

The LED briefly flashes on when the door is opened or closed during normal operation. It does also turn on during initial enrollment.

Yes the light comes on when the door is opened. This was a great find for the price. When first got it did some rattle and all I had to do was tighten two screws on the side. Nice microwave and sharp with the stainless on the front.

We had this microwave for 3 years. At the end we had to slam the door just right and multiple times to get it to work. It's in a landfill now. My wife hated it.To answer your specific question, yes the light always came on when we opened the door.

Yes the light does come on when the door is open, however the display on the timer is is impossible for me to read.

This is a push switch. You instal the light on the hinge side, the switch facing the door. When door is closed, the door will push the switch to turn off the light. When door is open, the switch is loose and light is on. Very smart design - just like the light in a refrigrator.

Yes, when you press the area to release (open) the door, the light does indeed come on. Then when you close the door the light goes off. And then when you set the cooking time and start the mircowave the light comes on again and it stays on while cooking the food. Hope that helped. (if you have any further questions, just ask.. I will help if I can.)

The light is on when the door is open. The timer will work as just a timer without the unit working or heating, however it will not work independently if in use.
