Microwave door will not stay closed or pops open during cooking.

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before adjusting door components.

• Step 1 – Check for obstructions: Inspect the door seal area and latch openings for food debris or foreign objects and clean thoroughly.
• Step 2 – Inspect latch hooks: Look for rounded or worn latch hooks on the door. Replace the door latch assembly if worn.
• Step 3 – Hinge alignment: Verify that the door is level and not sagging. Tighten hinge screws if accessible.
• Step 4 – Test closure: Close the door firmly and start a short cycle to confirm it stays latched.
