This is an authentic OEM door switch for your microwave. This switch is located behind the front panel, and works by making contact with the door hook, sending a signal that the door is closed and the microwave can now operate. If your microwave will not run when the door is closed, or the turn table continues to spin when the door is open, there is likely an issue with your door switches. You can use a multimeter to test which switch is faulty. Before beginning this repair, please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your microwave.

Microwave Door Interlock Switch The microwave door interlock switch prevents the microwave from starting if the door is open. If your microwave will not start when the door is closed, or it continues running if the door is opened, the door switch may need to be replaced. This microwave door interlock switch is a genuine OEM replacement part. We recommend that this part be installed by a qualified service technician. This is due to the testing the switch requires after installation, along with the potentially dangerous amount of charge the microwave capacitor can hold.

This secondary door switch is also known as a micro switch, and it is a genuine OEM replacement part for your microwave. The switch communicates with the electronic control board, to let it know if the microwave door is open or closed. The purpose of this is so that your microwave does not operate while the door is open. When the door is shut, the switch closes and the circuit completes allowing the appliance to operate. If the switch is faulty, it may result in your microwave not working properly when the door is closed, or it may run when the door is opened, neither situation is ideal and the switch should be replaced. Use extreme caution when replacing this part, as the capacitor is able to store large amounts of electricity even when the microwave is unplugged. Be sure to discharge the capacitor first, or if you are not comfortable completing the repair yourself, please call a service technician.
