Bush Door Latch / Hinge Misalignment

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

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn latch hooks, Weak or broken door springs, Bent hinges, Misaligned cabinet frame

Safety: Unplug the microwave before adjusting door components.

Inspect latch hooks: Check for wear or rounding of the plastic hooks. Replace if they do not engage firmly.
Check hinges: Ensure hinge screws are tight and hinges are not bent.
Cabinet alignment: If the cabinet is twisted (e.g., from being dropped), the door may not align. Re-seat the microwave on a flat, stable surface.
Replace worn parts: Fit new latch hooks or hinge kit as required.
