Ge WB02X11096 Latch OEM Part

FOUND THAT THIS IS A DIRECT REPLACMENT FOR THE DOOR LATCH ON MY ADVENTIUM PSA1201RSS 01 MICROWAVE/CONVECTION OVEN. GE SAID THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE BUT THIS PROVED THEM WRONG. A $3 PART SAVED A $300 DOLLER DOOR.

Despite all of the parts diagrams showing that you need to replace the whole door, I was able to repair only what was broken (the cheap plastic latch) in 5 minutes with this part! The only tool needed was a putty knife to carefully pry out the trim plate. The door removed from the unit by simply lifting off the hinge and the part just required some finesse to wiggle back into place. It literally took 5 minutes from start to finish. I spent more time trying to find the matching latch online than actually doing the repair. Not sure why GE indicates this part is not available. Please please don't buy the whole door just to repair the latch!!

Extremely grateful to another user on this site, I used this part to fix the door instead of getting a whole new door, since this part isn't "officially" associated with this particular model (i.e., if you look up parts for the profile advantium, they do not list a door latch part separately). But this part worked perfectly and it was a very simple fix, although it took a little time taking of the old one and fitting this in, so be patient and get a partner to hold up a flashlight while you dig in there (The spring is not included in this part, so be sure to keep the old spring). I found a YouTube video that helped with the confidence to pry off the inner lining (I used a butter knife, a strong puddy knive would have been better in retrospect, I cracked a little part of the plastic lining). But once it was in, door closes perfectly, and microwave works as per the norm.

Took door apart and put in new latch. GE has the replacement part as the whole door, which is very expensive. Found others with same predicament who used this latch, which is the exact one used originally.

I ordered a new latch and I also had to order a new choke since I broke one of the tabs off of it when I removed it. I put the new latch in and connected the spring and I was done. It was fairly easy!
