The Latch is an OEM part for Frigidaire microwaves. This latch keeps the microwave door securely closed during operation, ensuring the appliance functions safely and effectively. It also interacts with the door switches to ensure the microwave does not operate unless the door is properly closed.

Causes of a bad door latch can include regular wear and tear, physical damage from forceful closing, or mechanical failure.  

Symptoms of a bad microwave door latch include:

• The door not staying closed or securely latched
• The microwave not starting or stopping unexpectedly
• Difficulty in opening or closing the door
• The microwave running when the door is not fully closed

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This door latch spring restores the return tension in your microwave's door release mechanism so the latch engages and releases correctly. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring helps ensure safe door operation and reliable interlock switch activation.

• Provides the return force for the latch lever/door release button
• Helps door hooks engage fully and release smoothly
• Supports proper interlock switch actuation so the unit will run only when the door is closed
• Typical failure signs: door won't latch, "open/close door" error, door button sticks, or needing to hold the door shut to start

• Disconnect power. Microwaves can retain dangerous high voltage even when unplugged; discharge the capacitor
• Access the latch assembly behind the control panel; note the spring's orientation and attachment points
• Use needle-nose pliers to install without overstretching; inspect the latch lever and door hooks for wear
• Verify proper door closure and interlock switch operation before reassembly
