Fascinating in that our GE microwave (still actively sold) has an undisclosed feature that if you lift the door, when fully closed, by no more than a few mm, the microwave will start. I noticed this when cleaning the enclosure with a rag and my hand ever so slightly lifted up the door from the bottom. I can see how a consumer could wedge a kitchen utensil or plate accidentally under the microwave causing it to start and continue to run. Zero logic protection.
