The Microwave Door Latch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It securely fastens the microwave door when a cooking cycle is activated. A well-functioning latch is important for safety purposes, preventing accidental door openings and potential radiation exposure during operation.
Causes of damage usually involve wear from normal usage over time as the latch mechanism is utilized frequently. Failure can impair safety.
Symptoms of a defective door latch include:
- The door not fully closing or staying fully closed
- Warm spots or hot spots appearing unexpectedly on the door
- Fault codes or error messages related to door closure
- Inability to run cooking cycles safely if the door can open
This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
