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.
