Door locker snapped off
Unplugged the microwave. I opened the door. I used a butter knife to pop the bezel off the inside of the door. I pushed the locker up and to the left and used the butter knife to pry it loose. Disconnected the locker from the spring, and reversed for the installation.

I just ordered the locker and spring since the door won't lock into place. I need instructions on how to replace the parts on my model lmv1683st
For model number LMV1683ST
Hi Birol,
Thank you for your question. Before you begin any repair please unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. You will need to remove the plastic lining around the inside of the door. There are retainer clips holding the liner in place and you will need to use a putty knife to remove it. Depending on the type of microwave you have, you may have to come in from the bottom or from the top to remove the lining. Gently slide the putty knife in between the lining and the frame and go around the frame and gently pry it loose. On the hinge side you will need to come in from the backside to pry the lining off. The door latch is held in place by tension. There is a spring that is usually attached to the latch and to one of the fins on the door to provide it. With the inner lining removed you can now remove the old latch. Install the new latch by slipping it into the slots in the door and attach the spring to the bottom fin to allow for tension in the latch. Reinstall the lining and close the door. Plug the microwave back in. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I have to order the locker part number: 4026w2a019a and spring part number: 4970wra001b. I am having trouble figuring out how to remove the old parts and install the new ones. The original parts including the spring were damaged making it difficult to determine how they were originally installed. Does it sit behind the door frame? How is it removed?

Is this the latch that locks the door? I could send a photo of my microwave door to you.

Hello Marcin, Thank you for the question. The locker, or door latch assembly fits to the inside of the microwave door, and keeps the door closed. These are the "hooks" that are on the door and insert into the lock in the cabinet. We hope this helps!
