When I open door microwave starts to run by it self.When door is closed it stops . What could cause it start by it self with no buttons pushed as door is opened
For model number SMH1622S
Hi Doug, Thank you for the question. This is caused by a defective micro door switch. The appliance has one of Part Number: PS4225460 and two Part Number: PS4131192. These switches are located in the door latch assembly. They tell the appliance when the door is open and closed and when it is ok to run. I suggest replacing the switches. Hope this helps!

Just wanted to make sure this latch works with the Maytag
For model number MMV1153BAW
Hi Javiel,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately this is not the correct part for your appliance. I have listed the correct latch for your appliance in a link down below for you. Good luck with your repair.
Is the latch in the door spring loaded? Is the spring replaceable?
For model number MMV5207BAS
Hi Warren, Thank you for the question. The Latch Body is just the housing to hold the door switches, there is no spring.Hope this helps!

Does this part include both latches within the body. Our unit won't latch.
For model number MMV5207BAS
Hello Suzanne, Thank you for the question. This is just the plastic latch body that the switches fit into. The switches are not included. Hope this helps!
I can not close the door of microwave. It seems to me that electronic lock has a problem.
For model number JMV8208BAS
Hello Gary, Thank you for the question. We suggest checking the Latch Body and Switches to make sure nothing is out of place and properly receiving the door hooks. We hope this helps!
Just replaced a broken door handle, but when I re-attached the door, the microwave turns on by itself when the door is shut. There is no indication that there is any rf energy going out, just the fan and the tray rotation.
For model number MMV5207BAB
Hi Joe, thank you for the question. For these symptoms, you will want to replace the Micro Switches part numbers PS11741686, and PS4131191. We hope that helps!
