Microwave door is difficult to open or close, or does not latch smoothly.

Safety: Unplug the microwave before adjusting door components.

• Step 1 – Inspect hinges: Check for loose screws or visible bending. Tighten hinge screws carefully.
• Step 2 – Examine latch hooks: Look at the plastic hooks on the door that engage the cabinet. If they are worn, cracked, or bent, replace the door or latch assembly.
• Step 3 – Check latch lever: Inside the cabinet, inspect the latch lever mechanism that the hooks engage. Ensure it moves freely and is not obstructed.
• Step 4 – Do not force: Forcing a misaligned door can damage the interlock system. Correct the mechanical issue before further use.
