1 How do I fix the door latch on my Samsung microwave?
My microwave door latch/latch mechanism spontaneously stopped working, and now the door won't stay closed, and thus the microwave won't turn on... unless you close it just right and either hold it exactly shut while it's on, or use rare earth magnets (the exterior is steel) to keep it shut. But if something makes the house, or that wall, vibrate for any reason, the microwave is likely to stop, as the latch mechanism senses the door opened slightly. (Otherwise imperceptibly, but bonus points for stringent safety features!)
This style microwave does not have a button to open the door, one just pulls the stationary handle.
The microwave in question is a Samsung 1.7 kW over-the-range style, and I've included pictures, if that helps.
Is this a good question?
