cool tip if it actually works on your microwave. mine doesnt do it, but i like to imagine how life would be if it did.

Mine is a Whirlpool. I was wondering if it wouldn’t work on all brands.

I hate the beeping but it does usually remind me because I am forgetful

Lol, OP doesn't know different kinds of microwaves exist...

[Kenmore] The only thing holding down any buttons did on mine was to lock the controls. Fortunately doing the same thing again unlocked them, or I would have felt trolled!

On mine if you press 161885 STOP it doesn't do anything unless it was already running.

Mine has a mute button. 🤷‍♀️

I'm going to try it and not tell you if it worked or not.
