Description

You opened the microwave before it beeped. What kept the waves inside—and what happens if the door switches fail? This 3D animation reveals the hidden door seal, interlocks, and fail-safe switch. Microwave designs vary by model. If yours operates with the door open or has a damaged door or latch, stop using it. Sources are in the comment below. The Why Side — Small questions. Big reveals. #Microwave #Engineering #Shorts
