Microwave Door Latch

The door latch is a genuine OEM part designed for Frigidaire microwaves, and it's also compatible with various brands such as Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and certain Kenmore models. This component plays a critical role in keeping the microwave door securely closed while it's operating, thereby preventing the door from opening accidentally. It features a robust, spring-loaded mechanism that ensures a tight seal.

Common reasons for latch malfunctions include normal wear and tear, damage from frequent use, or issues with the spring or locking mechanism.

If you notice any of the following issues, it might indicate a problem with the microwave door latch:

- The door does not close or latch properly.
- You experience difficulty locking the door, or it cannot be locked at all.
- The door opens unexpectedly during operation.
- The microwave shows decreased power or fails to perform cooking functions correctly.

Ensuring the door latch functions correctly is essential for both safety and optimal operation of the microwave.
