    That's fine as long as you press the clear button to eliminate the need for the next person in line to do it before they can use the microwave.

    my old roommate used to leave time left on the microwave. 13 seconds or 6 seconds or whatever the fuck.

    always annoyed me.

    Holy fuck my husband doesnt. We have a timer on the stove and when it goes off instead of getting up right away to turn it off or stopping it before, he'll sit there and just let it beep while he takes care of other things. Drives me fucking nuts reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    I have a 12 year old GE that was purchased for $25.

    You can prob turn it off on yours as well with a combination of buttons.

    Unfortunately, this unit does not have a way to disable the beeping via programming.
    Unplug microwave, open top, "several screws" look to where the keypad is, behind that you should see the control board, mounted you should see a round black device may be a speaker or pizza buzzer, verify that is sound.

    lmfao that has to be the only microwave I have ever heard of that doesn't have a setting. I would go snip those wires personally.
