Interlock Spring Specifications
Introducing the Interlock Spring from the trusted and reputable Whirlpool brand. This genuine OEM part is designed to work seamlessly with select models of Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef microwaves. The function of this part is critical, as it effectively resets the cam plate for the interlock switch each time you open the microwave door. However, due to the potential of high-voltage capacitors in your microwave retaining a dangerous electrical charge, even when unplugged, it is recommended to have this part installed by a qualified service technician. Kindly ensure to confirm that this interlock spring is the precise part appropriate for your appliance model before ordering. Trust in Whirlpool for high-quality, reliable appliance parts to keep your home running smoothly.

Ordered top & bottom micro-switches and mounting plate parts. Internet reviews could not find specifics if the issue was due to a top/bottom or combination of micro-switch or mounting plate failure.

hillip screw at the top vent assembly area. Lifted control panel upward to release the catch and moved it off to the side - didn't disconnect any leads. Used a Torx bit to remove the door switch mounting plates at the front and pulled the plates through the opening from the control panel. Documented the wire color code connections, the top plate uses 2 micro's with one using both the closed & open contact. Installed the respective micros on the mounting plates and worked backwards with the wiring and removal steps. Once completed, the open/close sensing has worked every time.

The door is not shutting it will not stay shut what part do I need to fix it
Hi Misty, Thank you for the question. If the hooks on the door are not damaged, you may need to check or replace the Interlocks, Part Number: PS11745301 and Part Number: PS11749178. You can check to see if they have not come loose or if a switch is out of place. The interlock could be damaged and need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Door won’t latch closed. All switches are good and i replaced interlocks (top and bottom) with no luck. Should i try replacing springs? Everything works perfect if i keep a little pressure on door : /. Thanks in advance.
Hi Virgilio,
Thank you for your question. If your microwave door won’t close or won’t latch, it usually means there is an issue with the door latch assembly. The latch assembly typically has two hooks which link to the switch holder on the frame of the microwave. When the hooks work properly, they engage the switches to begin powering the microwave, so having them in working order is important. The latch assembly is spring-loaded to provide the necessary tension to engage the hooks. A broken door latch may be as simple as a broken hook or worn out spring, which will require replacing the door latch assembly. To access the assembly, unplug the microwave and take off the inner door panel, which is held in place with plastic tangs. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Do both the top and bottom support interlocks require a spring? My door will not latch to the top interlock and i noticed there is no spring present. The bottom appears to be latching and switching correctly with a spring present.
Hello Ryan, Thank you for the question. Checking the diagram there should be a spring at the top. Hope this helps!
