Product Description
Door Latch Specifications
This door latch keeps the microwave door closed during operation. The latch is approximately 7 inches long and has 2 hooks to ensure that the door closes properly. The hooks also contact the door switches to provide power to the controls. The microwave will not start unless the door is properly closed, so if you notice that the microwave door is not staying closed, check to ensure that the latch is in working order and is not damaged. The latch assembly is made of plastic and has a spring attached to provide downward tension to keep the hooks engaged. If either of the hooks is broken or does not have any spring tension, you may need to replace the door latch. Before beginning this repair, make sure to unplug the unit and remove the inner door panel to access the door latch.

Trying to replace door latch for a Frigidaire microwave. Part # 5304477389. Thanks
Hi Carl,
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 door latch broke on the microwave. I took it apart and I was wondering if it takes a spring? All that was there were the broken pieces and no spring?
Hi Miguel, Thank you for the question. The spring is located on the hooks on the door, Part Number: PS1993448. There are no springs in the latch assembly with the switches. Hope this helps!

When you close the door, the light and turntable stays on and microwave won't work with this happening. I use to push the door in or up and down and it would stop then the microwave would work, but now i can't get it to stop.

MW wouldn't stop running- not heating, just running
Went through some anxious hours when I found that the MW would not turn off. The only way was to leave the door open. Not a solution. Tried a appliance repair that I knew, they didn't work on MWs. Spoke to the manufacturer, for $99 would come out and then tell me the real cost to fix. After more searching, even to maybe getting a new MW, (which necessitates getting a new bracket for the over the stove MW. They evidently are not standard, but proprietary to brands. Not good!)Buying a MW, okay, but someone has to put it in. Where are the good old days of selling, delivery, service? I'm from a small town, that's SOP.
I found PartSelect and called them. They didn't have the exact problem I had. They had a FAQ about the MW not starting. Mine wouldn't stop.
After describing what was happening, they had it in one. Looked at the plastic latch, bottom was curved out of shape. Door wouldn't close properly, causing it to run. It didn't heat, just ran. I ordered the parts. A spring and a latch. They came in quickly and my son and I began the repair. Found a You Tube on a similar type of door and they posited it might be the latch with step by step to follow. Ran back and forth from computer to kitchen.
Now, we didn't have the right tools to go along with the video we were watching. A long thin blade (about 12 inches) knife was used as the putty knife to pry up the edging that held the door glass. My son's long thin tiny philips screwdriver he uses to fix toys worked for the really tiny screws that held the latch part. We didn't have long nose pliers, but we messed up that part anyway, forgot to put in the new spring with the new latch. We worked it by hand and it went back together. Put it all together and discovered we forgot to put those tiny screws back at the latch. Wrestled the door back on and started it. Almost had a heart attack as it still was running when off. So unplugged,let it reset and it's been fine. Think it probably would have gone smoother with the proper tools. Anyway, glad I found PartSelect and that it was a relatively easy fix, even for those without tools and experience. A am a retiree, so don't feel you can't do it. Thank you so much PartSelect.

This site provided a great way to match you needed part with your appliance!
Your site verified that I had chosen the correct part to match up with my microwave oven! Shipping did not take that long and the price was very reasonable considering it would have cost a lot more to have a technician come in and do the repairs. Found the removal of the inside of our microwave door a bit challenging. We watched a number of u tube videos on how to do it. After some patience, we were able to get the new part in without breaking it and put things back together again. It was a $20 fix for my microwave and would have cost $750 to replace. I will definately use this site again if I need appliance parts as we like to save money and try to fix things on our own if we can. This site was very helpful!

Other part a rip off
The latch was fine and fairly inexpensive, about $9, but I also need the handle. This simple plastic handle costs $83.00!! So I didn't order it and tried to repair it with epoxy glue.
Why is this unimpressive plastic handle $83. What a rip off.

handle with care
