Microwave door does not close properly; it sags or needs to be lifted to latch.

Safety: A poorly closing door can compromise microwave containment. Do not operate the microwave until the door closes and latches correctly.

Steps:

• 1. Inspect hinges: Check the visible hinges for looseness or damage. Tighten accessible screws on the hinge side of the door and cabinet.
• 2. Check for sagging: Lift the door gently when closing. If it latches only when lifted, the hinges are likely worn and may need replacement.
• 3. Inspect latch hooks: Ensure the plastic latch hooks are intact and not bent.
• 4. Professional adjustment: If the door frame is bent or hinges are riveted, a technician should replace the door hinge assembly or complete door.
