Ge WB06X10610 Latch Board OEM Part

We isolated the problem via YouTube videos to a faulty switch. We broke a piece of the switch holder when removing the switch and had to also order that part in addition to a new switch. Once everything was reassembled, the microwave worked again!

Replaced the worn latch board, 3 door switches and blown fuse.

Checked and replaced one of three door interlock switches. Unfortunately I failed to show proper care in removing the faulty switch and broke a latch on the bracket that holds the switches, so I had to buy one of those as well. After replacing the faulty parts, I accidently reversed one of the plugs that I had to disconnect and the unit would power the lights and buttons, but not the heater. Upon correcting my oversight (carefully document with pictures when disassembling) my microwave works again like when new! I have a good microwave again at a fraction of the cost and the parts were exact replicas of what was installed from the factory. The technician with AppliancePartsPros who helped me order the correct parts was very helpful.

Noted wear on the door latch and the latch board. Before it totally failed you could push on the door to make it operate. After disassembly I checked the three micro-switches, which checked good. I replaced the door latch easily with the help of a video, then replaced the latch board. Be sure to use the little toggle on the replaced door latch on the new latch. I had to adjust the position of the latch board to make the microwave operate properly.

I noticed grooves on the latch board where the door latch slid up to close and ride back through when opening the door. This allowed the lower part of the door to open before the top thus allowing one of the switches to sense the door was open and the other to sense the door was closed. Replacing the latch board fixed the problem. While I was at it I replaced the door latch and spring. Now it works perfectly.
