Electrolux Microwave Latch, Catch, Lock Parts

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 hook secures the refrigerator door latch so the door closes and seals correctly. Replacing a broken or worn hook restores reliable door latching and helps prevent temperature loss from an improperly closed door. What it does:

• Secures the door latch assembly so the refrigerator door stays closed.
• Restores proper latch engagement to help maintain the door seal and consistent cooling when the door was not closing fully.
• Can address symptoms such as a door that won't latch, door popping open, or visible damage to the hook.
• Direct replacement for the factory latch hook to restore proper fit and function.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove door trim or inner liner as needed to access the latch; keep all screws and fasteners for reassembly.
• Verify latch alignment and striker position before tightening; hand-tighten first and avoid over-tightening.

This left-side door latch head is the hook assembly on the microwave door that engages the interlock switches. Replacing a worn latch restores a secure close and reliable start/stop so the unit operates only with the door fully shut. What it does:

• Hooks into the cabinet to keep the door closed and aligned
• Actuates the door interlock switches for safe operation
• Helps prevent doors from popping open or needing pressure to run

• Includes 1 left-side latch head

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove the inner door trim to access the latch; support the door and protect the glass
• Compare orientation and transfer any reusable hardware from the original part
• After reassembly, verify the door closes smoothly and the microwave only starts with the door fully closed

The Latch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire built-in microwaves. Securely mounted to the top interior section of the microwave cavity door, the positive-locking latch holds the door safely shut during operation. Crafted from corrosion-resistant materials for extended use, the latch handle withdraws the hook mechanism with a simple pull to conveniently access food within.

Symptoms of a bad latch include:

• The microwave door popping or falling open unexpectedly  
• Difficulty closing or fully engaging the secure latch hook 
• Wear signs like loose mounting points or a worn handle

Causes can involve repeated opening/closing cycles gradually loosening mounting fixtures, or parts rendered ineffective by moisture intrusion over time.

Replacing this Frigidaire OEM latch prevents potential microwave door opening during cooking cycles. Compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore built-in models.
