Safety first: Unplug the microwave before adjusting hinges or latches.

Step 1 – Inspect door and frame: Check for visible warping, bent hinges, or damage to the plastic around the latch area.
Step 2 – Clean latch area: Remove any grease or food buildup around the latch openings and hooks.
Step 3 – Check hinge screws (built‑in models): For built‑in Indesit microwaves, ensure the mounting screws and brackets are tight and the oven is not twisted in the cabinet.
Step 4 – Replace worn latch hooks: If the hooks are rounded or cracked, replace the door latch assembly with a genuine Indesit part.
Step 5 – Verify seal contact: Close the door on a strip of paper at various points around the seal. You should feel resistance when pulling the paper. If not, the door may need adjustment or replacement.

Warning: Do not operate the microwave with a door that does not close securely.

Microwave door will not close fully or pops open during operation.
