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.
