Ofc. Otherwise it beeps.
Turn off the beeps, it’s the only way
I tried every combo and magic trick I could find and mine will not. Sadge.
One does not simply turn off the beeps.
I used to stop my microwave a few seconds before it finished, like many others, due to the annoying unstoppable beeps. But then I got this smaller unit that happens to let out the faintest confirmation of doneness that I ever did, or rather almost didn’t, hear. I don’t mind it now.
I have this annoying microwave that beeps 5 times when it hits zero, even if I open the door in the middle of it. Kinda rude honestly
It depends on how annoying a noise it will make if allowed to finish. I find it odd that the option to disable the beep on completion isn’t common. There’s rarely any urgency to remove what I just heated.
Really? First thing I do after a power outage is turn off the sound on the microwave. I’m not putting stuff in for hours, I’ve not forgotten about it. If I’m not taking it out of the microwave immediately it’s because I’m busy. Settle down, machine.
I’m embarrassed that I’ve never even thought of attempting this… Do all microwaves have that option?
No they do not, unfuckingfortunatly
People who leave those few remaining seconds just hanging there for the next person to have to deal with are called “microdanglers.”
Someone at work does this and doesn’t clear the remaining time. Pisses me off. Press the stop button for the love all that is holy. Look, I know it’s petty.
Not petty, totally fair. In my case, the microwave is the most visible clock from the couch, so I am always annoyed when it’s 00:02 instead of the time. But then again, the power goes out frequently where I live, so it’s not so reliable as a clock in the first place
I have my microwave on silent so I actually prefer to let it finish so I don’t need to press a button to clear those few seconds to have a useful clock back
There’s such a thing as a beepless microwave 😮?
Basically every microwave iv seen in the last 25 years has a way to turn off the beeps.
Read the manual for the shit you own. It’s wild sometimes how hidden options can be.
man microwave
I wish I could do that to everything in my life.
man child man taxes man life
I set mine to vibrate so I feel it in my pocket when it goes off
HOW
WHAT BRAND OF MICROWAVE DO YOU HAVE?
I specifically looked online before replacing my last one – it didn’t just beep, it screamed at the top of its lungs.
Now a happy owner of a silent LG microwave. (You hold two buttons simultaneously to put it in silent mode)
LG #1675079
For older ones I owned, you can open up the control panel and take out the little speaker puck as an irriversable alternative option.
I have kids that I enjoy keeping asleep. There is no reason for that fucking beep to ever occur.
Many models have the option to turn off the beeps
But why won’t the noise turn off as soon as you open the door?
Nominating for best of out-of-context comments.
Is that really out of context? Maybe it’s also because I am a parent, but that was my immediate reaction to the post. Death to all things that beep loudly!!!
No, your comment was perfectly in context. I was nominating it as a perfect addition to an all time greatest list of post that, out of context, are amazing.
Thanks but it was my comment.
That’s what I thought but my wife needs it or she constantly forgets warm beverages in the microwave.
Yes, regularly AND I leave the remaining time on the microwave. It’s pure chaos over here.
My partner does the same thing! The amount of times I’ve looked at the microwave and wondered why time is standing still is too damn high!
I am triggered, please for the love of god and anyone who lives with you JUST CLEAR IT
Fucking Monster.
I mash the stop/clear button until it makes more beeps than the microwave would have made if I let the time expire.
Stay away from my family!
This is how my wife is. However, weve recently (6 months now) gotten a new microwave and i havent had to clear the time off once. There’s no way shes changed her ways, so this must have a feature to clear remaining time after so long
My husband wants this. Brand?
LG. Pretty sure its this one specifically

Awesome - you may have saved a marriage 😉 Thank you!!
It beeps 5 times if I don’t. Super fuckin annoying, are those beeps.
Microwaves stop by themselves? /j
I hate the beep in every form so far, and I avoid using microwaves every chance I get.
The beep from the microwave hurts my ears. So I stop about 1 second before it beeps.
Mine makes a little music sound, and when I hit the “stop” button it makes a different music sound. If I hit it at just the right time, it makes a nice melody by combining both sounds. I recreated a similar sounding one to it here.
