WB10X32782 General Electric Microwave Door Latch for Ge Appliances

Microwave Door Latch for GE Appliances.

GE brands compatible with this product include Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. This door latch is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component designed for GE microwaves. It ensures the microwave door remains closed during operation, maintaining the heat inside, preventing leaks, and safeguarding against access by young children.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning door latch are:

- The door fails to stay closed securely.
- Visible gaps around the door when it is supposed to be sealed.
- Difficulty securing the door upon closing or a feeling of insecurity once latched.
- The latch mechanism feels loose, gritty, or appears visibly damaged.

The primary reasons for door latch issues generally include normal wear and tear from frequent use. Additionally, exposure to steam and heat can weaken the plastic and metal parts of the latch. A door that does not close properly can lead to safety risks, such as excessive heat escaping from the appliance.

This genuine GE replacement part also fits select models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
