Having a microwave is such a convenience.  You can pop in a dinner or warm up some soup within a matter of minutes maybe even seconds!  The various array of things you can do with a microwave make this product extremely versatile.  You can defrost, warm up, bake, etc.  Sometimes devices like microwaves start to malfunction.  For instance, if your microwave will not stop running, then it can pose a problem for your food.

The most important thing to remember when your microwave is spazzing out is that you need to care for your personal safety first.  You should unplug the device from the power source.  Opening the door when the microwave is still on is extremely dangerous.  You should never do this.  Your face and hands could get burned very badly.  Shield your eyes and unplug the microwave as soon as you can.

The issue may be with the smart board.  This is the part of the microwave that signals the device to stop when the timer runs out or the door is opened.  If the smart board breaks or goes bad, the microwave will be unable to stop because it is short circuiting.  Once you unplug the microwave, you need to go get a new smart board and replace it. In most cases it may be completely ruined and you should just throw the entire thing away and get a replacement microwave.

If you continue to use the microwave even though it is malfunctioning you could cause serious damage. The device could blow up or start a fire, which could cause serious injury and destroy your kitchen.  You should be extremely cautious when approaching a microwave that will not stop running.
