The Door Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire microwaves, designed to ensure the appliance operates safely by signaling when the door is securely closed. This switch is critical for preventing the microwave from running if the door is open, a key safety feature that protects users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Causes of a bad Door Switch can include mechanical failure due to normal wear and tear from repeated opening and closing of the microwave door. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Switch include:

  • The microwave not starting or heating when the door is closed.
  • The appliance continuing to operate when the door is opened.
  • Intermittent operation or sudden stopping during use.
  • Displaying error messages related to the door or switches.

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Frigidaire Door Switch (Part Number: OEM18691851)

1 Answer

Bill, This would be due to a failed control board or door switches. If you find a failed door switch be sure to replace all three at the same time per the manufacturer's recommendations.

Jerry, Based on the model provided I would recommend checking the door switches with a multi-meter, if the door switches are good then it will likely be a user interface issue.

Mary, You will want to test the door switches on the unit which will be the most likely cause for this. If the door switches check ok then the only other cause would be a faulty control board.

Rakesh S for Model Number Kenmore Elite 790.80363310

Hi, I have a Kenmore Elite, which I believe was made by Frigidaire. About 2 1/2 years old and just blew the fuse in the fuse box. Seems door monitor switch broke. Replaced it with a matching one from Amazon (lasted 3 days). Did it again (lasted a week). Trying to figure out if the quality from different well ranked sellers is just bad, need an OEM part, or it is something else, like the door latch (hook). I see slight wear on the "ramp" in the door latch assembly. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Rakesh, It would be recommended to replace all 3 door switches at the same time as there may be an issue with one of the others as well.

Antonio, after leaving the unit unplugged for 10 minutes, the transformer 5304515184, magnetron 5304519335, capacitor 5304528930, and diode 5304509479 would need to be tested. The transformer primary windings (two terminals directly on the transformer) should measure .3 ohms, and the wire side windings should measure 118 ohms. The two-wire filament wires that are together should measure 0 ohms. The magnetron should measure less than 1 ohm from terminal to terminal, and 0L from the filament to the chassis. The capacitor should read several ohms initially and then start to read 0L. The diode would be tested for continuity and with the meter probes set to test the diode from one end to the other, and then reversed, the diode should read continuity in only one direction. If these all test good, then the issue would be in the relay to the transformer and the main control 5304477390 would need to be replaced.
