James Sweet said:The oldest microwave I've ever used was an ancient Amana RadarRange my
grandparents had, I believe it was early 70's vintage. When I was a kid
we had an enormous Litton 1200W oven from the late 70s, both of those
would stop when the door was opened.
I did encounter an early 80's microwave once that would keep running, it
was obviously a defective interlock setup, I opened the door and it took
a moment to register that it hadn't shut off.
I've seen a microwave oven where due to most likely an interlock problem,
the turntable and fans will continue to run if the door is opened, but
the microwaves are off.
