The Door Key is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is responsible for securely holding the microwave door closed during operation. A sturdy and reliable latching mechanism is important for safety and to prevent leaks of electromagnetic radiation.

Causes of a bad latch can include worn or damaged parts due to normal wear and tear over time. The mechanism undergoes a lot of opening and closing stress with repeated use. Impacts from improper handling can also damage latch components.

Symptoms of a bad latch include:

• The door not closing or latching securely
• Difficulty opening or closing the door
• The latch making loud noises or feeling loose

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
