WB06X10676 - GE Microwave Latch

This GE Microwave Latch (WB06X10676) is a genuine GE part designed for GE microwaves. Door latches play a critical role in securing microwave doors during operation to contain internal heat and prevent energy leakage. They utilize springs or levers to accurately align the doors against seal surfaces, ensuring a tight closure. When the cooking process is completed, the door release buttons retract the latches, allowing users to safely open the doors. A malfunctioning latch can lead to microwave energy leakage, which necessitates an immediate repair. Thus, a durable and well-functioning latch is essential for the safe containment of microwave energy. Symptoms indicating the need for a replacement include microwave doors that do not remain closed during operation or appear misaligned when supposedly locked. Before purchasing, it's wise to double-check your microwave model number to ensure compatibility with this latch.
