Will you get an electric shock from a turned off microwave?

If it is plugged into a properly grounded outlet then no.

You may get a STATIC electricity spark from walking across the floor when the air is dry but the 3rd prong that has been in use for decades makes sure you can't get a electrical shock

i agree with petris mom. big fat woody after getting shocked, highly reccomended.

You shouldn't but like any other appliance if its got a defect or isn't grounded properly you could.

Possible if the unit is not grounded otherwise, not likely.

The inside works have a 3 KV power source for the magnetron, the capacitor can hold a charge for some time even unplugged from mains. Now that can knock your lights out if it is hot, potentially fatal.

You can get some serious shocks because the high voltage capacitor can offer you an extreme level shock even after the microwave has been unplugged. The magnetron inside a microwave can contain beryllium oxide in their ceramic insulators which may be fatal if it gets into the lungs.

Sure you CAN--but WILL you?  Not unless you've done something that provoked it. Such as removing any of the parts, sticking a screwdriver in the outlet, or breaking the unit in some way so it has an electrical short. Keep your fingers and tools out of the microwave's guts and you should be okay. And if you aren't going to do that, then unplug it. 

It is possible, 

especially if one goes carelessly poking around inside the cabinet,  

which should be opened Only by a qualified repair technician.    

It is virtually impossible to get a shock from any appliance that is intact 

and correctly connected to a proper power source.   

Sometimes a static charge will be present 

and you might get a small zap from that, 

but it is not due to any problem with the equipment.     

This is most common when and where humidity is low, 

so it occurs most often during winter.   

Yeah, you can get some serious shocks because the high voltage capacitor can give you an extreme level shock even after the microwave has been unplugged. The magnetron inside a microwave can contain beryllium oxide in their ceramic insulators which can be fatal if it gets into the lungs. Simply removing it is safe, but never try to take one apart.

yes the magnetron still has a charge in it , yes all microwave ovens have a magnetron .And there is not capacitors in it ..

It's possible, even if it's unplugged. Microwaves contain capacitors. Capacitors store electricity. If you touch a capacitor with stored electricity in it and form a circuit to ground because you're not wearing rubber soul shoes or some part of your body is touching something that leads to ground, you'll get an electric shock.
