Customer Questions and Answers for Microwave Door Latch Head (Left) by Frigidaire

This left-side door latch head is the hook assembly on the microwave door that engages the interlock switches. Replacing a worn latch restores a secure close and reliable start/stop so the unit operates only with the door fully shut. What it does:

• Hooks into the cabinet to keep the door closed and aligned
• Actuates the door interlock switches for safe operation
• Helps prevent doors from popping open or needing pressure to run

• Includes 1 left-side latch head

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove the inner door trim to access the latch; support the door and protect the glass
• Compare orientation and transfer any reusable hardware from the original part
• After reassembly, verify the door closes smoothly and the microwave only starts with the door fully closed
