Bradley D Jersey Shore , PA May 18, 2020 Fan and light on microwave would not shut off. Then it would not function at all. Noted wear on the door latch and the latch board. Before it totally failed you could push on the door to make it operate. After disassembly I checked the three micro-switches, which checked good. I replaced the door latch easily with the help of a video, then replaced the latch board. Be sure to use the little toggle on the replaced door latch on the new latch. I had to adjust the position of the latch board to make the microwave operate properly.

Daniel A Tempe , AZ June 04, 2019 A broken latch on my GE microwave oven made the oven inoperable I ordered an new latch, which arrived as promised the following weekend. It took a few minutes to install the new latch and spring in the slot of the microwave door due to the tight fit of this piece. But I eventually maneuvered the part into place, reinserted the plastic molded cover that goes around the latch and glass part of the door. Plugged it in, and it worked beautifully! Read More...
