Default Why do microwaves shut off 15 seconds early?

Do you mean it pings/beeps and the light goes out at the 15 second
point? I assume you have a fancy microwave with a digital timer rather
than a simple rotary knob like mine. All the same, I think mine stops at
the correct time as far as I can tell.
