How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before inspecting the door hardware.
Visual inspection:
- Open the door and inspect the plastic latch hooks on the door edge. Look for cracks, missing pieces, or excessive wear.
- Check the mating latch openings in the cabinet for bent metal or obstructions.
- Gently lift the door while open to feel for excessive play in the hinges.
User actions:
- If a latch hook is visibly broken or the door is sagging, do not operate the microwave.
- Door and latch components on Wolf microwaves are typically replaced as an assembly and require precise alignment.
Service recommendation:
- Schedule service to replace the door latch assembly or hinges and to realign the door so the interlock switches engage correctly.
