Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Microwave intermittently recognizes the door as open or closed.
• Microwave interior light does not respond correctly when the door is opened or closed.
• Microwave may stop operating when the door is moved or nudged.
• Microwave starts or appears to operate with the door open; immediately disconnect power and do not use it.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting or testing the interlock switch.
• Confirm the door closes fully and that the latch engages smoothly without excessive looseness or misalignment.
• With power disconnected, inspect the interlock assembly, latch area, and wire terminals for visible damage, looseness, or displacement.
• If qualified to perform electrical testing, check switch continuity with the wires disconnected and compare the results with the applicable model-specific service documentation.
• After any repair, ensure all panels are reinstalled before restoring power; microwave door interlocks and shielding require proper post-repair verification.
