Those who have the Kenmore microwave #73092: is it possible to turn off the bell sounds on this unit?

Okay. I just looked in the little instruction booklet that came with the microwave. And I could not find anything mentioned there about turning the sounds off. So if there is a way to do this.. I don't know how one would do it. So I guess no, probably not. Sorry.

There is no feature on the unit to turn off the bell. The bell will ring five times when product is ready. Bell sound is low and not annoying at all.

No, after using the the microwave, the light around the knob is turned off. The microwave is good, but the press button which opens the door failed in less than a year. Nobody around my area fixes the problem - claiming it is too expensive to repair it??

There is a switch on the bottom to turn off the sound. It does get annoying!

IMPORTANT: For those out there that do not like a loud beep. You can turn it off. It's in the manual. At the same time push and hold the "Toast" & "Bagel" buttons for 5 seconds. This will deactivate the beeping. Unfortunately, it now does not beep at the end of a cooking cycle either. It does beep a lot, but not a huge deal for us. However, if you do have a need for silence, it is easy to turn the beeping off. It's just as easy to turn it back on - hold the toast and bagel buttons again for 5 seconds and it's beeping again. Hope this helps someone out there!

No, sounds like any other microwave we've had. We really like it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other people.

Check the manual. There is an automatic filter to cancel out those annoying noises...works pretty well for us. Good luck!

Hello George- To turn the alarms off you just need to hit the button on top with the picture of the alarm and (1) or (2). You will see the symbol that appears on the screen of the bell when the alarm is on. When the alarm is off you will not see the symbol. There is a symbol for each of the alarms so if you do not want either of them on there should be no bell symbols on the screen. Hope this helps!

This microwave is not loud at all. We just love it!! I read the other answer, and we have not had the same problems.

We were able to turn the audio off. There is a setting to mute the alarm. We are away on vacation now and do not have the book with us but it was clear in the instructions how to mute the sound. Not sure why you are having problems. Worked great for us. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

Yes, that procedure does turn off the "Plasmawave", which several reviewers said was not possible on this model. The unit continues to operate normally, but without the "Plasmawave" (which several reviewers found to be dangerous?). Also, when I saw the $99 + Free Shipping price this morning, I ordered two more (I have three already), and AMAZON denied me two, but let me order ONE ONLY! That's when you know this is a true bargain!

Yes, there is a switch to turn off the audio tones. We use it in just visual mode. We have two units and two readers, coded such that both garage doors report to the unit downstairs and upstairs. Do not that occasionally, depending on where you place the unit, it may get confused, which you can clear by opening and closing the door or unplugging the confused device for a few seconds and plugging it back in.

Hi I don't think so. I have this alarm also and I do not know any way to mute the alarm. Thanks for asking Frank

Yes. There is a switch about 1/3 of the way from the top on the right side of the base. Slide it all the way down and that turns off the ringer. The middle setting is for low volume. Thanks for asking, as I learned something useful too.

not sure if it can be muted or turned off, but my family loves it. We also love the size and seamless insides of the microwave.

I have found a similar situation. When we use a vacuum cleaner in the hallway where the bell unit is located, the noise sometimes sets off the ringer and the remotes, but they always shut off after the cycle.

Yes. If you are hard of hearing, this is the one for you! I will also add that the next microwave is going to have a door handle instead of that sorry push button in the lower right corner!
