Y'all better be clearing the timer so it returns to clock mode afterwards
I do NOT set the clock on my microwave. Damn ghostly lights keeping me up in the middle of the night.
You sleep in your kitchen?
Our new one has the option to not have a clock and just be blank so it’s extra annoying when somebody leaves the timer on and the screen stays on blinking ‘cook time’.
I’ve said it before, but they should have a time out option of say like 5 or 10 minutes, when it automatically goes back to standby.
I agree, but they don't.
Do you actually use your microwave to find out what time it is?
Uh, yeah, it's got a built-in clock.
Mine does too but even though it (and my oven) tell the time I look at my watch, phone, or the dedicated clock in my living room
it's not just about the microwave returning to clock function. It's also about the microwave being returned to it's normal standby state so that pushing the buttons functions as expected for the next person.
Huh. That's fair.
You sound way too reasonable. What's the catch?
My microwave and oven clocks are never correct because I don't use them.
That sounds like a "you" problem.
I wear a watch so it's not a problem. Actually, what IS a problem is that my microwave is also a convection over / air fryer but they didn't put sufficient thermal insulation around the electronics/display, so the display is slowly getting cooked and the LED segments keep dying one after another. It's becoming difficult to see how much time is remaining when I cook stuff.
Is this a thing?!
Some of the LED segments on my 15-year-old microwave stopped working so now I can't tell the difference between 5s and 6s.
I figured the wiring was a dud and just came loose after so many years. Maybe I need to pull out my tinfoil hat!
Sounds like your real problem is that you bought a piece of garbage.
It was the highest rated microwave + convection oven I could find. Maybe a good one doesn't exist.
Most rating sites are just ads for garbage. I just buy all my appliances from Costco now since they tend to actually vet their products.
Costco is great. I trust their stuff but I bought a ceiling fan from them and I'm about to return it. I'm glad they have a 90-day return policy.
Does your stove not have a clock? They're fairly standard now
Not while it's running.
Neither does the microwave, while it's running.
Mine does.
Even within a few hours of setting it, it's usually off by at least a few hours. My microwave is usually pretty accurate to within a few minutes, even after days.
