The Microwave Door Latch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It securely fastens the microwave door when a cooking cycle is activated.  A well-functioning latch is important for safety purposes, preventing accidental door openings and potential radiation exposure during operation.

Causes of damage usually involve wear from normal usage over time as the latch mechanism is utilized frequently. Failure can impair safety.

Symptoms of a defective door latch include:

• The door not fully closing or staying fully closed
• Warm spots or hot spots appearing unexpectedly on the door 
• Fault codes or error messages related to door closure
• Inability to run cooking cycles safely if the door can open

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

This is a truss-head self-tapping screw used to secure appliance panels and trim. It replaces a lost or damaged mounting screw to restore proper fit and stop rattles or loose parts. What it does

• Commonly used in refrigerators, ranges and other household appliances

• One truss-head self-tapping screw

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and work on a cool appliance
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten—turn until snug and the part is secure but not distorted
• Replace with the exact part number to ensure fit and function
