Norman A Miami , FL February 25, 2016 The latch on the microwave door of our combination oven/microwave was broken and the microwave would not power on Since the latch didn't close properly, the sensor did not allow the microwave to come on; the light would not shut off, and we were unable to use the microwave. I removed an inner plastic cover on the microwave door to expose 6 screws. I removed the screws, and the door panel came loose, exposing the broken latch. I replaced it with this product and reversed my steps. The microwave works perfectly now. The replacement part was made of metal which is definitely stronger than the original plastic latch. This replacement part will definitely not break. Read More... 10 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
Eric M Minnetonka , MN March 31, 2018 Right latch broke Ordered the left and right latch, took off the trim ring, unscrewed the door face and removed it, replaced the latches and I was done! The reason these parts are so expensive is because they are METAL, not the cheap original plastic.
