Door will not latch
Hello Bruce, Thank you for your inquiry. We have researched the model you have provided and we would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: Door latch, door spring and the door switches. Check the latch and spring to see if either are broken, and you can test the switches with a multimeter to see if they are faulty. For safety reasons, since the microwave capacitor can still store electricity even when the microwave is unplugged, it is usually advised that you discharge the capacitor before any attempt at repair. We have included a link on how to do so. https://www.partselect.com/Microwave+discharge-capacitor+repair.htm Good luck with your repair.
The door to my microwave will not stay shut and it turns off. If I hold the door shut, the microwave will operate normally. Why?
Hello K, thank you for reaching out. If your door is not staying shut, you will need to check the door latch mechanism. Check if the door latch is working fine, if not, you will need to replace it with part number PS979580. There is also a door latch spring that creates tension and engages the door latch when the door is closed. The part number for the door latch spring is PS979582. We hope this helps.

I first removed the top plate above the microwave door (3 screws), then I removed the plate containing the buttons and clock. The microwave has 3 relay switches and they are in a little holder. The holder was too difficult to remove so I just removed the bottom switch and replaced. The microwave started right up.
