door latch failed to latch
made TWO (2) parts orders one (1) for latch, (1) for the Spring. Using a dinner knife I removed plastic cover on inside door to inspect the spring and latch. Found both to be in working order, where the spring attached at the lower plastic spring attachment area was broken. In other words I needed another door or Microwave unit, After exanining area I determined that a home fix was possable with 1/16 inch diam. piano wire by bending a tight loop at top and hooked to spring, then pulling down to put tention on spring enough to keep latch in proper possion, I then marked wire and cut it and bent it in a hook and hooked it to a metal fin like brace, operated door works well. TOO MANY PLASTIC PARTS.
