5304509457 Frigidaire Microwave Latch Hook-Door Switch Holder

Microwave Latch Hook - Door Switch Holder (note: switches not included). This item is compatible with several brands including Frigidaire, Electrolux, and also serves as a replacement part for Sears-Kenmore microwaves. The latch hook is specifically designed for Frigidaire microwave models and functions as an internal mechanism that ensures the microwave door locks securely during use. This component interacts with the door handle system to maintain the door's closure, which is crucial for both operational safety and to prevent microwave energy from escaping.

Common reasons for malfunctioning latch hooks are general wear and tear, damage from frequent use, or problems with the spring or other related parts.

Indications of a faulty latch hook may include:

- The microwave door failing to close or latch properly
- The door becoming difficult to close or unexpectedly opening during operation
- Microwave energy escaping from the door seals
- Display of error messages concerning door latching issues

Additionally, this latch hook is suitable for use in Electrolux, Westinghouse, and Kelvinator microwave models.
