Pat B January 26, 2015 for Model Number GLMV169HBA I am sure the spring has broke on the microwave door, because right now I'm using it with a rubberband attached from the outside to the hinge on the inside. Looking at your parts does the spring come with the entire door latch or if I just buy the spring why the big price for only the spring, when for $10.00 more I can buy the entire door hinge.
1 Answer Pat, The spring does not come with the latch on the microwave. You would have to get the spring and latch as separate parts. Read More...
Maurice October 16, 2014 for Model Number #9G92602195 Question about Electrolux Frigidaire Gallery Household Microwave oven. Microwave closes but latch or spring is not holding door tight enough for microwave to function. If i hold door tight while running microwave, it functions normally. Not sure if i need only latch AP 3767935 made by Frigidaire that costs $28.76 or more or something else that will engage latch and keep door tight so that microwave can function.
1 Answer Hello Maurice. Look and see if there is a broken spring inside the door for the latch or if the latch is broken. Read More...
Karen August 05, 2014 for Model Number Fgmv174kfb The spring came off the latch hook. I removed the outer part of the door on the inside. Where does the spring hook onto? A piece of plastic broke off & I'm not sure where it came from. I don't see anyway to attach the spring. Is there a piece attached to an inner door part. If so, what is the part number I need? Please explain
1 Answer Hello Karen, The door latch spring hooks on a metal part on the door assembly and on a plastic piece on the door latch. The door latch 5304440314 is normally that part that breaks. Read More...
Kirk November 29, 2013 for Model Number FGMV174KFB I think I figured out my problem with my Frigidaire Gallery microwave. I believe the latch on the door is broke which wont allow the door to shut properly therfore the light stays on and the microwave will not work. I have already checked the switches and they are working fine. My question is how do I get the latche out of the door and the new one installed? Thanks for your help

Davidk May 06, 2013 for Model Number Frigidaire FGMV174KFA The door on my unit very suddenly stopped latching shut. I've determined that the little hook inside the door frame to which the tensioning spring (Part#AP3770117) attaches (the other end of the spring, of course, attaching to a similar hook on the latch itself) has broken off. It seems I have two options, either buy the (rather expensive) part #AP4459303 or try to epoxy the broken hook back on (not sure how much tension the spring exerts so I'm not sure how likely a repair like this is to hold). So, two questions: 1. IS AP4459303 the part I'd need to replace? 2. What's the liklihood that gluing the piece back in place would hold?
1 Answer David, If just the latch broke then it would not be necessary to replace the complete door. You could replace the latch itself which is part number 5304440314. The epoxy would most likely not hold. Read More...
Gerry S. March 06, 2013 for Model Number GLMV169GSA The door hinge pins on this model sit on brackets that protrude from the front of the cabinet. When opened, the door flops down. The two brackets (upper and lower) are completely loose. They seem connected and move in unison. Have some screws fallen out that can be replaced ??
1 Answer Gerry, The hinge pins that the door sits on are connected by being welded to the inside of the cabinet and if they are loose then the welds have broken. Read More...
Erica July 10, 2012 for Model Number FMV156DBF Microwave door is closing, but light stays on and the oven is not working. Can you tell me what the problem is?
1 Answer Hello Erica. It sounds like you have a bad door switch. There is a total of 3 door switches on this model. There are 2 5304493153 and 1 5303319559. You need to test the switches and see which one is bad. NC to COM should read closed and NO to COM should read open. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Glen N. May 26, 2012 for Model Number FGMV174KFA I recently purchased the door latch for my Frigidaire Gallery Microwave from your company. I received the part but it contained no directions on dissaembaling the door so that I can replace the defective part. Can you please send me some instructions? Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Glen, The door frame needs to come off first. This is kind of tricky as it is the most common part to be broken during disassembly. You see, it clips on on its' inside and outside edges and you must work back and forth with a small screwdriver or similar tool. Be aware it's easy to chip the paint off so be careful. Once the door frame is off, it's pretty self-explanatory as to the rest of the disassembly and reassembly procedures. Of course there are Phillips head screws that hold the assembly in the door. The door frame doesn't need to be completely removed as you only need to access the one end. The hinge side of the door frame can remain on the door assembly. Read More...
