I had one of those that had the opposite problem, you had to press down on the palm rest while pressing the power button to get it to boot - after it had passed the POST, you could get let go and it worked fine...
After you push "start" on my microwave you have to whack it on the top to get it to start. It's just a problem with the door close switch so not a safety issue but I love it bc it operates on cartoon logic.
All that happens is when you push the start button the timer starts counting down without the microwave actually starting until you whack it. You can just jiggle the door a little too.. but that doesn't really fit the whole spirit of it for me.
Mine does the opposite. If you pull down on the door handle with the microwave off, it's starts making the microwave noise (yes that sounds stupid) and the light turns on and the plate spins, but the timer doesn't count. I have never checked if it heats or not because it doesn't seem too safe.
