How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before any disassembly.
Checks:
- Door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly with an audible click. If it feels loose or does not latch, inspect the door hooks for damage.
- Visual inspection: Look at the latch area for broken plastic or misalignment.
- Switch testing (technician): Remove the cabinet and access the door switch assembly. Test the monitor switch with a multimeter for proper open/close operation. Replace if faulty.
- Adjust latch bracket: Slightly adjust the metal latch bracket position if the switches are not fully actuated when the door closes.
Warning: Door and interlock systems are critical safety components. If you are unsure, have a professional perform the repair.
