How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before attempting to free a stuck door. Do not force the door open with tools that could damage the seal.
- Press release button firmly: Try pressing the door open button multiple times while gently pulling on the door handle.
- Check for obstructions: Look around the door edges for any foreign objects wedged in the gap.
- Access latch (advanced): On some models, removing the outer cover allows access to the latch mechanism so you can manually release it.
- Replace broken parts: If the latch lever or hooks are broken, replace the door latch assembly or door as specified for your Haier model.
