The Microwave Switch is an OEM part for Bosch microwaves. It functions as a safety device that ensures the microwave operates only when the door is securely closed.
You should replace this microwave switch if it becomes faulty due to wear and tear, or if it's damaged from electrical issues or physical impact. A malfunctioning switch can prevent the microwave from starting, cause it to stop unexpectedly, or lead to safety hazards by allowing the microwave to run with the door open.
Symptoms of a bad microwave switch include:
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.
Similar to other stories on here, the microwave was repeatedly tripping the circuit breaker, usually when opening the door. Plugged microwave into a different outlet/circuit, and problem traveled to that breaker, so definitely issue within the appliance. Turned out to be door interlock switch. This model has 3 switches: 2 x AP4512903 (00617228, the Primary and Secondary interlock switches) and 1 x AP4512904 (00617229, the Monitor switch). It was only the Monitor switch that was defective, but... Read more
The Switch is an OEM part for Bosch microwaves. It plays a role in the safety and functionality of the microwave, acting as a security mechanism that prevents the microwave from operating when the door is open. This ensures that microwave radiation is contained and only in use when the door is securely closed, protecting users from accidental exposure.
Causes of a malfunctioning door switch can range from physical damage, such as cracks or wear from repeated use, to electrical issues like short circuits or disconnections.
Symptoms of a bad Microwave Door Switch include:
This is a door latch assembly that also serves as the switch holder in a microwave. It engages the door switches when the door is closed, ensuring the microwave operates safely and only when properly sealed. Replace this part if the microwave door won't latch securely, the unit fails to start, or the door switches are not activating correctly.
This door switch is a safety interlock that detects whether the microwave door is properly closed before allowing the unit to operate. It is mounted near the door latch mechanism inside the microwave's cabinet. Replace this switch if the microwave does not start when the door is closed, runs with the door open, or if it blows a fuse when the door is opened or closed.
I believe the problem was caused by a power surge when our electricity returned from an outage. FirstI removed the two screws on top and removed the vent. This exposes the one screw that holds the control panel in place. First I checked the fuse to see if blown but it was ok. Two screws hold the plastic. bracket in place that holds the 3 door switches. Uncouple the wires attached to the switches and pull the bracket out. Then carefully pull the switches out of the housing with a small screw... Read more
Microwave won't start or trips the breaker? This circuit protection fuse opens during overloads or shorts to protect components. Easy fix after resolving cause.
Microwave would trip the breaker when I would press start. So I looked on Google and found on Youtube which indicated it could be a door switch. "IMPORTANT I AM AN ELECTRICAL DESIGNER/ENGINEER THERE IS A CAPACITOR THAT HOLDS ELECTRIC ENERGY EVEN WHEN UNPLUGGED DO NOT DO THIS WORK UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO REMOVE THIS ELECTRIC ENERGY SAFELY" I took apart the microwave and behind the touch panel of the microwave was the wiring sheet. There are (2) switches on the door. I took a... Read more

This is a charcoal filter used in over-the-range microwaves to remove odors and smoke when the microwave is set to recirculate air rather than vent outside. The filter traps grease and odor particles from cooking fumes. Replace it if you notice persistent cooking odors, reduced air filtration performance, or if the filter appears visibly saturated or discolored.
Pretty easy repair. Removed two top screws, then used a credit card and flathead screw driver to slide out the old plastic tabs that had broken off the old part. Then, put in new charcoal filter and new part. Attach both top screws and do not over tighten.... done! Read more
