Latch had snapped off so microwave would not work

Ordered new door latch, watch YouTube video on how to replace, and replacement went smooth.

The circuit breaker supplying this microwave oven tripped when the door was opened replacing the interlock switches and switch holder did not correct it

I replaced the latch hook in the door thinking it might be worn down and might be opening the switches in the wrong order. This corrected the problem. It was an easy repair.

Microwave trips the house circuit breaker if you open the door. Started intermittently then constantly.

Replaced the door latch hook assembly on microwave right side which also holds the door switches. I also replaced the door hook assembly on the actual door since it is prone to wear per your website. I've opened and closed the microwave door multiple times after the repair with it running and no more tripped circuit breakers! Seems to work great!
