Just an FYI. Opening the microwave before it is done can damage it. I had one that would always blow the breaker if my dad used it, but worked fine for me. Turned out he was opening the microwave 1 second before it was done.
Sounds like a power surge as the microwave doesn’t stop correctly. Either my home’s have always had better breakers or the microwaves I’ve had are designed so it doesn’t create a power surge if you open the door as an off switch (in the UK btw). Never had anything happen in over 20 years of doing this, but a fair warning to give :)
I totally do this. Mine is set to just over 4min at the moment (manual dial). Door ajar to stay off until I use it next,which could be weeks away.
It’s completely normal as far as I’m concerned ;) But I do adjust to a round minute if I really want to stick close to the instructed time.

Too lazy to check the authenticity of this story, but it can also confuse your local scientist
True statement. The door switches fail sooner if you open the door before pausing. I just replaced them in my microwave for the second time…
