Product Description

Micro Switch Specifications

This microwave door switch provides power to the various components in the microwave when the door is in a closed position, and interrupts power when the door is open. This door switch is approximately 1 1/2 inches long, and has 2 metal prongs called terminals that extend from its body. If your microwave will not turn or heat properly, there could be an issue with the door switch. You can check the switch for continuity using a multi-meter. With the actuator button depressed, you should see continuity between these terminals. If there is no continuity the switch will need to be replaced. NOTE: Before you begin this repair, first make sure your microwave is unplugged, and that your capacitor is discharged. A capacitor stores large amounts of electricity even when your microwave is unplugged.

Where do i find the part number on the door switches? And will this solve a problem of no heat and no turntable?
For model number MH6150XMQ
Hi Michael, Thank you for your question. The part number listed under your model number for the door interlock switch kit is PS373050. When your microwave turns on but does not heat up, it may mean the door switch is broken. The door switch signals other microwave components to supply power when closed, and to stop heating when open. The door switch can also be called an interlock switch. When this part doesn’t work, the fan and stirrer motors may still function, which makes your microwave look like it is working. If the microwave is not heating you also need to check the magnetron. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How to open the door to install the switche(s)
For model number 721.85033010
Hello and thank you for writing. Remove the front control panel from the microwave. Locate Micro Switch,(on the left side connected with two snap-in wires). Pull out wires, pull out the switch. Replaced faulty switch with the new one. Snapp in two wires. Very easy. However, need a short 2" Philip screwdriver to be able to unscrew the screw holding the old switch. Attached front panel. Connected microwave back to power. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Will not shut off..light works and the oven heats up
For model number 40573116310
Hello Tom, thank you for your question. This is normally caused by a bad door or door switches in the unit. We would recommend replacing the door switches first, and if the issue persists, the board could be the issue. I hope this helps!

Our microwave door opening button is inoperable. The door latches are fine. The microwave functions normally except for the door opening button. Is this switch the correct replacement part to repair the door opening button?
For model number KCMS1555R
Hello Tom, Thank you for contacting us. I have researched the model you have provided and have found the push button is discontinued. I suggest checking the latch bracket, Part #: PS11745265 and the spring PartSelect Number PS11742286. The push button does not have a electrical switch to operate it. Hope this helps!

Broken door micro switch. (unit does not start heating)
Unplug the unit before servicing. Need phillips screwdriver. Open door. Use step ladder to access and remove 2 small screws from top of the room air diffuser at top of unit. Slide diffuser slightly to the left to align the diffuser's plastic tab on the left side to rotate toward you. (The wires for the front control panel are at the far left side of this difuser, but difuser is slotted for easy removal). Once the difuser is removed you will see 1 screw at the top that secures the pannel cover on the left side of the unit. Remove screw and slide this panel slightly up and out. This exposes the plastic frame that holds the upper and lower door switches. To locate the door switches and observe how they work, close and open the door and watch the door (bayonets) open and close the micro switches. Do the (red) buttons on top of the switches move up and down when the door bayonets push and release? If the buttons do not "pop" up when opened the switch is defective. The switch frame is secured with 2 screws. Remove screws and rotate the unit out for easy access to the micro switch(s). The internal (spring?) on my unit that is suposed to allow the red (visible) button on top of the switch to "pop" up when the door is opened was broken. Carefully pry the switch outward while being careful to lift the plastic holder-piece that holds the switch in place. Be careful, there is a small pin on the frame, so rotate the switch OUT toward you while lifting (carefully) the plastic holder-piece (you will see it on top of the switch). You can use an ohm meter to test the continuity of the switches. But if the buttons don't "pop" they are defective. Replace switch and reassemble.

the turn table no turn and no heat the food. but the bottom oven worked
well I unplugged the microwave one day prior to working on it. shock precaution smart way to do this job. very easy pullout the screws behind the unit pull off the outer casing. minor screws inside the unit you have to remove a couple things out of the way. unplug the magnetron and remove first gives you more room to work on the side panel to replace the micro switches. I only replaced one the bottom micro switch. only one bad, but since I was in there I clean the bulb and changed the magnetron any ways. I read other reviews and made my choice to do so. it works perfectly now. Thanks PartSelect for having parts.

Oven would not start when closing door.
Removed some cosmetic panels. Removed the assembly with micro switches. Examined the faulty switch by checking the clicking action of switch. Two others were ok by this method. Replaced the switch with new one. Works fine so far. Thanks to web site and YouTube videos.

Micro switch arrived in 6 days and was installed in ten minutes.

Micro switch arrived within a week. Took only 10 minutes to replace. The microwave no works perfectly. A replacement microwave would have cost over $300. Very happy customer!

Great part which worked as expected. but...

The part came in time and my LG Microwave is in good working order now. Two comments: Shipping and handling costs more than the cost of the micro-switch itself. Secondly: I had to get my electrician to come and replace the switch since the old switch would not easily pop out. All in all I am happy that I don't have to buy a new Microwave!!
