We do this to ventilate it so that it doesn't steam up the inside of the microwave. Seems pretty sensible.

Exactly! If there is any moisture left and it can't dry, it could start to mold.

That's actually a problem with my dishwasher, which can't be left slightly open (it always closes shut), and me being a single, so it takes time to get a full machine. If I want to prevent mold I either have to start the dishwasher half empty (which is counterintuitive) or to collect the dirty dishes outside the dishwasher until enough have accumulated to fill it. But then you have all the dirty dishes lying around. Argh!

Can you pull open the top rack and use that to stop the door from automatically closing?
