Microwave door hook broken

Replace the door interlockswitches - or try re-positioning the existing set. They wear after time

Dead appliance, power on wall outlet.

YOUR SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!

Attempt this only if you are competent.

If your appliance has absolutely no functions at all, remove it from the mains supply, remove the case and see where the mains lead goes in to the appliance and follow the cable until you find the main fuse.
ONLY USE THE SAME TYPE AND RATING OF FUSE TO REPLACE IT.
The usual cause of this fuse failure is the door switches are contaminated or sticking. Check the door switches before putting power back on to the appliance.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like the internal pressure latch is hung up or broken. Unfortunately, they're made of cheapo plastic and break. Fortunately, microwaves are super cheap to replace these days. We just bought a nice one at Costco for $99.

It's nothing more than the door catch, remove the outer cover and adjust the switch. it's on a slot and that moves out of position. just pull it back in position ans nip it back up. simples!!

Simple if you know how. There are componants in a microwave that can KILL, or hurt you, even if unplugged for a long period of time.

Hi Paul, did you get any answer for that?? My neff is giving me same problem.. if you know what is the solution can you please e-mail me to alinaseer1@hotmail.com? Regards

e 10 is the internal safety fuse has blown this often happens if door is altered for any reason moving the door can effect the setting of the monitor switches these are set to a high tolerance to avoid operation of microwave with door open changing the door has shifted these settings and blown the fuse, replacing the fuse may be enough to get it going but it should be checked for leakage.

theres a small plastic hook inside the door which holds a tension spring this will have snapped off stopping the latch from entering the lock its actually quite easy to fix the inner plastic frame can be unclipped with a small flat blade screwdriver exposing the hook mechanism and the spring will be lying in the bottom of the door frame you can reconnect it to the metal inner frame it stretches the spring a little more but it will never snap again ive done this loads of times with no probs otherwise you will have to replace the outer door to reinstate the broken hook.

sound like the door monitor switched has blown or shifted out of position if the switches dont operate in tandem when door is opened or closed it will blow the 10 amp fuse and kill the display they will need to be checked by engineer if it is monitor switch they are not expensive to replace.

if appliance runs for approx twenty seconds this is nearly always a magnetron fault usually a cracked magnet or burnt out anode the electronics are detecting an unusual power fluctuation and shutting appliance down for safety you will need service tech to sort.
