This microwave door latch is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on microwaves. The door latch is responsible for making sure the door is closed before the microwave will operate. The latch has two hooks that attach to the door panel inside when the door is closed.

It will also be difficult to open the microwave if the latch is broken. If the microwave latch is broken, it should be removed and replaced. Unplug the microwave from the electrical outlet before making repairs. Lift up on the microwave door to remove it from the hinge and away from the microwave. Remove the inner door panel to access the latch. Remove the spring that attaches to the latch and discard the old latch. Install the new latch and attach it to the spring. Reinstall the inner panel and put the door back on the microwave. Reconnect the power.This door latch is made of black molded plastic and is sold as an individual unit. It is designed for use in microwave ovens manufactured by Frigidaire, Kenmore, Uni, and Electrolux.
