Are all these beeps a bit much for you? Well, today's your lucky day, because we're going to show you how to silence your microwave for good. While it's true that every model has a slightly different process, there's a lot of overlap. Read on to learn the most common ways to put your microwave in mute mode and enjoy some peace and quiet.
Steps
Warnings
- Never run your microwave completely empty—it might damage the microwave. If you're doing a test cycle to confirm that the beep is off, put at least a cup of water in there.[13]⧼thumbs_response⧽
