The Hook is an OEM part for Bosch microwave doors. Manufactured from heat resistant composite materials, it firmly holds the door closed during cooking cycles.
Causes of a faulty latch/hook include failures of being worn down from repetitive opening/closing motions over time. Exposure to high heat or abrasive cleaners also leads to decreased functionality.
Symptoms of a damaged latch/hook involve:
- Doors not sealing fully or locking properly
- Failure to open after cooking
- Degrading latch fittings allowing moisture or debris entry
This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
