Part is Perfect, arrived next day, extra easy to install.
The part surprisingly arrived the very next day. It was excellent and easier than I ever Imagined to install. I am so grateful, and contrary to the experience recorded online, I did not need to remove the door of the microwave to install the part. Woo Hoo! I was so amazed and happy! I am so very grateful. Sincerely, Ms. Rosenstock

The door latch broke.
It was really easy. I am not a handy person but I followed a video and got it done quite quickly. It saved me a lot of money. The local appliance repair service charges a minimum of $75 just for the visit plus parts.

Door Latch Assembly Broke
This is a simple task. Removed the choke cover using a putty knife or small flat screw driver. Putty knife works best. Slide putty knife under the plastic choke cover to lift up over clips all around the door. There are 3 on top and Bottom and 2 on each side. Be very careful or you will break the catch clips that hold the choke cover
... Read morein place. Lift the door latch up all the way and push towards the outside of the door, then pull the top or bottom out then the rest of it. Unhook the spring end from the door. Attach the new spring to the hook on the door and then to the door latch. Extend it up all the way so the 2 hook parts of the door latch can go back into their slots. Unlike some others said, the microwave door does not need to be removed. If you have someone to hold the door still, that's good enough. I did it by myself with no problem.

door latch arm broken, microwave wont start
This was easier than I had expected. Many of the instructions involved removing the door. I decided to skip this when I found a Youtube video showing that the latch replacement required little disassembly. Here are my steps #1 Open door completely and, if needed, have someone steady it. #2 Using a thin plastic putty knife, gently pry
... Read moreoff the plastic fascia from the inside of the door. Try to break as few of the plastic retaining tabs as possible (my total was about 10). #3 Slide the old latch upward and outward towards the outside edge of the door with your putty knife. #4 Remove the old latch and spring. #5 Attach the new spring to the latch and hook it to the retainer on the door. #6 Lift the new latch into place, it will drop into the slots with no or little persuasion. #7 reinstall fascia. #8 "nuke" last night's pizza ;)

Door handle latch
We opened the microwave door and essentially with a straight screwdriver worked to "pop" the plastic frame off of the door. We tried to be less aggressive in our efforts and this paid off since we didn't break anything! The area we needed to work on was now exposed to put the new latch in. It took 2 hands rather than 3 to get the new latc

My GE profile microwave's door latch is broken. I took the plastic fascia off easily but i cannot get the white plastic latch out. It doesn't just slide up and out. I have tried for 15 minutes to get it out. The spring was loose and fell out immediately when i took the plastic fascia off. Please help.
For model number PEB72226sf1ss
Hi Anne,
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!

My GE profile convection sensor microwave door latch does not open sometimes. It takes several tries to get it open. What kit do I need to replace it?
For model number JE1590BH02
Hello Mary,
Thanks for your question. The door latch for your model is part number PS227745, while the door switch is part number PS237409. You will want to have a licensed technician install this part as the interior of the microwave can contain electrical charges even when unplugged.
I hope this helps.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your question. I have listed the correct latch and spring underneath your model information down below for you. Good luck with your repair.
The oven door is very hard to open. It takes several tries and it feels like it needs pushed up while pulling out on the handle to get it to open. Help!
For model number SCA1001KSS02
Hello Vickie, Thank you for the question. If the Latch hooks look good and are not lose you can check to see if the door is aligned and sitting straight. If the door is good you may have a damaged Latch Bracket, PartSelect Number PS227929. Only way to know before ordering would be to open up the cabinet to check the bracket. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
