Microwave door is difficult to open or does not latch smoothly; sometimes causes intermittent operation.

Safety: Unplug the microwave before adjusting door components.

Mechanical checks:

• Inspect the latch hooks on the door for wear or burrs; they should move freely and engage smoothly.
• Check the door catch openings in the cabinet for damage or obstruction.
• Clean any grease or debris from the latch area.
• Check hinge screws and tighten if loose.

Repair:

• Replace worn latch hooks or door catch assemblies with Teka-compatible parts.
• If the door is warped or hinges are bent, replace the door assembly or hinge set.
