• Transfers motion from the door-open button to the latch hooks to release the door
• Helps resolve a door that won't open when the button is pressed
• Addresses a button that feels loose, sticks, or lacks resistance
• Replaces a cracked or broken lever causing intermittent door operation

• Unplug the microwave and discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Remove the grille and control panel to access the interlock/latch area

• Test door release action before completing reassembly

The Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire wall ovens. It is a component located on the oven door that detects when the door is opened and closed. The door switch works alongside the control board to regulate oven operations based on door position.  

Symptoms of a bad door switch can include:

• Oven failing to automatically go into bake or warm modes after door closure
• Interior lights not turning on when the door is opened
• Control buttons/display remaining constantly lit instead of dimming
• Oven not heating or functioning properly in different modes

Causes relate to normal wear over extended use as the door switch mechanism cycles with frequent door openings and closings. Moisture exposure or impacts could also degrade switch performance.

This microswitch senses the microwave door position and controls the safety interlock circuits. Replacing a worn switch restores proper start/stop behavior so the oven only runs when the door is fully closed.

• Detects door open/closed status to enable or disable cooking
• Part of the safety interlock system that stops operation if the door opens mid-cycle
• Replace if the switch fails a continuity check or shows heat or terminal damage

• Disconnect power before service; microwave capacitors can retain a dangerous charge
• Note wire positions and move them to the same terminals on the new switch
• Ensure the door latch cleanly actuates the switch; test operation before reassembly

This door latch assembly engages the interlock switches when the microwave door closes, keeping the door securely shut. Replacing a worn latch restores safe door engagement and allows the oven to operate only when properly closed.

• Hooks into the cabinet strike to hold the door closed
• Actuates the interlock switches to permit heating
• Helps resolve: door won't latch or stay shut, "Door/Open" error messages, unit won't start unless the door is pressed
• Replaces a visibly cracked, worn, or broken latch

• Unplug the microwave before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage components—work only on the door, not inside the cabinet
• Remove the inner door trim to access the latch; note orientation and transfer any clips/hardware as found
• Inspect the door strike and hinges for wear; misalignment can prevent proper latching
• After reassembly, verify smooth door closure and that the oven will not run with the door open
