Microwave door does not close properly; cooking stops when the door is slightly touched.

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

• Step 1 – Check for play: Gently lift the open door to feel for excessive movement. Excessive play indicates worn hinges.
• Step 2 – Tighten hinge screws: Tighten any accessible screws securing the hinges to the cabinet and door.
• Step 3 – Inspect latch engagement: Close the door slowly and observe how the hooks enter the latch openings. They should engage fully and evenly. Adjust the latch bracket slightly if misaligned.
• Step 4 – Replace worn parts: If hinges or latch components are visibly worn or bent, replace them with Severin-compatible hinge and latch assemblies.
