Peter E Loxahatchee , FL April 04, 2014 Broken door latch This was much easier than expected. I called Appliance Parts Pros with my model # and you told me what part I needed. It was shipped the same day and arrived the next day. I removed the inner door trim with a table knife ( don't rush this or you might crack the trim ). I then unhooked the old door latch disconnected the spring from the door hooked on the spring from the new latch and clipped in the latch to the door. Final step was to reattach the door trim. It was very easy and all I used was a table knife. It seems I have to select a tool below besides other. All I used was the table knife to pry off the trim.

Don F Poulsbo , WA November 09, 2014 Appliance: Samsung Microwave SMH9187W/XAA Broken door latch on samsung microwave I called Samsung Customer Support and was told I'd need to enter a service ticket since this repair was not something an owner could fix. Then I checked on line and found the parts on AppliancepartsPros.com and read the reviews from other owners about how simple this repair was. I ordered the parts, they were delivered within 2 days. The repair could not have been easier. I used a table knife to remove the plastic inner door, replaced the broken latch, snapped the plastic inner door back in place. Repair complete in less than 10 minutes. Before finding AppliancepartsPros, I was ready to replace the microwave (to the tune of over $300). So for just over $10 my microwave is back in working order. Thanks AppliancepartsPros.com.

Paul B Hayden , CO March 12, 2014 Appliance: Model SAMSUNG MICROWAVE Door started hanging up, in a mis-alignment, and a day later would not stay shut. Looked at the door interior and could see it simply snapped in place. Took a fine tip screw driver, popped the door plate out, examined the plastic latching mechanism, and saw it was broken at one of the locking pins. Tried to find parts locally. That was a Joke. Went online, found AppliancePartsPros.com, ordered the part. Two days later, received the part. Took me less than two minutes to install in the door. Microwave works fine now. Saved a costly service call by doing some simple investigating. Read More... 8 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
