LATCH 5304522796

Help a microwave door close and engage its safety switches with this replacement latch. The latch hooks into the matching strike when the door shuts, holding the door in position so the interlock system can detect proper closure. A worn or broken latch may cause the door to open, require extra pressure, keep the light on, or prevent cooking from starting. Check the hinges, strike, springs, and door switches before replacement. Unplug the microwave before service. If access requires removing the outer cabinet or working near internal electrical parts, use a qualified technician because the high-voltage capacitor may remain dangerous after power is disconnected.
