Customer Questions and Answers for Door Interlock Assembly (Microwave) by Whirlpool

Hello Janice, the manufacturer only supplies the rack mounting clips with the rack kit W10315274.

Hello William, the door interlock switches, cams, mounting bracket are out of alignment, This part (kit) W11244490 from the manufacturer will address that problem.

Dan Jager, you should be able to pry the inner liner off. It is usually made of plastic and if you are careful, you can pry it out. You should be able to access the screws that hold the door handle and tighten them.

Hello Tom. First off, open the door and note the different "sections" of the inner door. The choke is the plastic part that snaps in around the glass. Many times, since this part clips in from both sides of the plastic, this part may be damaged by simple removal, so be careful. You will need something thin and strong such as a small screwdriver or a thin, narrow paint scraper. (Careful not to scrape paint. I have wrapped my little screwdriver with tape to prevent cosmetic damage). You have to work it in between the choke and frame and get the choke to unsnap. You do have to work from both inner and outer edges to get it completely freed. Start at the door latch end and work around the top and bottom. It doesn't have to come off on the hinge side of the door. You only need to access the screws to the door handle so three sides are all you need to worry about, (top, bottom, and handle end of the door). At this point, I'm worried that you are saying to yourself, "What the heck is a "choke"? The choke is the name the manufacturers use to describe the plastic part of the door that covers the frames that hold in the glass. If your very careful, you can reuse this part. If your rough with it, the little clips will break off and it will never stay in place without replacement.(White 8206140, Black 8206141). The hard part of this is that there are clips on the inside edge and the outside edge. If you did this for a living you would have to replace about 30% of the chokes you removed so don't be surprised if the clips break. If they do break, I strongly recommend against the use of super glue as if it has to be removed again, you have sealed the deal for the purchase of a new door assembly. Once the three sides are loose, this allows enough space to use a screwdriver to remove the door handle screws. Of course the replacement of the handle is to reuse the same screws you removed to hold the new handle on. The choke now just snaps back into place. I hope I haven't confused you in this general explanation. Simply ask a new question if you require additional assistance.

Hello Dave, The door latches 4393913 do activate the door switches. If one or both of them are broken, the door switches will not be activated and the unit will not operate properly.

Hello Linda. Based on the model number you provided, 8205572 is the correct interlock, and W10211972 is the correct switch. Hope this helps.
