Gerald G St. Louis , MO August 05, 2019 Appliance: Model KENMORE MODEL 790.80363310 Microwave blew line fuse It took a long time to determine the problem but eventually I discovered that the plastic bracket (latch hook) that held the three door-switches showed appreciable wear from repeated door openings and closings. This wear stopped the door from sealing properly and the door switch safety mechanism blew the line fuse. I replaced the worn bracket (AP6230612) as well as the plastic latch mechanism (AP4553585) on the door that engages this bracket (and of course the fuse too) and the microwave now works properly.

Kyle B Gainesville , FL December 30, 2014 Appliance: Frigidaire Microwave Oven FFMV164LSA Door would not shut I ordered the new latch and spring (didn't end up needing the spring). Unscrewed the two screws on top of microwave and slid out the top sliver cover. Door lifts out. The first cover around the door just needs to be pried off, just like the back of a phone case. Unscrew the two screws on the metal piece where the latch goes. Pry up and hold in place while you hook the spring and slide the new latch into its holes. Lower and reassemble. Took ten minutes.
