How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not operate the microwave with a door that does not close securely.
Inspection:
- Check the door gasket and cavity front for food particles or debris; clean thoroughly.
- Inspect the latch hooks on the door for cracks or missing pieces.
- Gently lift the open door to check for excessive play in the hinges.
If the door still will not close securely:
- The hinges or latch assembly may need adjustment or replacement.
- Because door alignment affects microwave leakage, only a qualified technician should perform these repairs.
