Parts for Lg LRM1230B / CBKELGA: Section 1 Parts

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

The Door Latch Spring is a genuine OEM part for LG microwaves. As a key component of the microwave, the door latch spring is responsible for providing the tension needed to securely close and latch the microwave door. It works behind the scenes to ensure a tight seal when the door is shut.

Symptoms of a bad door latch spring include:

• The microwave door not closing or latching properly 
• Gaps appearing around the door seal when shut
• Difficulty opening and closing the door

Causes of a bad door latch spring can include wear and tear over time. Exposure to excessive door slamming can also place undue stress on the spring.

This genuine LG OEM  replacement part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves.
