900E Microwave Oven Door Won't Open even after

Emerson 900W Microwave Oven Door Won't Open. I've had it for a year or so and all of a sudden this morning while warming up food, I couldn't get the food out. The door wouldn't open. I may have tried to open it while it was on. After reading manual I tried deactivating the child lock. It still wouldn't open. Any other tricks I can try? Thanks

Your latch has come apart inside the door or inside the oven. Probably a spring separated or broke.

Remove the cover --WATCH OUT FOR THE SILVER CAN - LETHAL -- and try to release the lock that way. I think you will be able to open it from inside but I also think your trouble is inside the door, though I dont have experience on this model. If the trouble is in the door, you will have to disassemble it. Look for hidden screws or a plastic strip which must be removed to separate the door halves.

Good luck in your project.

I had a power surge in my house and my EMERSON 900W MICROWAVE OVEN MW8999RD control pad is not working. The lightbulb works and the tray spins slowly when I open the microwave door. However, nothing

I hope it's still under warranty. Think about getting a replacement, and about next time: Get a surge protection device between the oven and the wall plug! I have suffered from power surges in my house as well, and a surge protector is the only cure.

Emerson microwave mw8780ss, door won't open

I can tell you what we did when we had that issue with our Maytag microwave. The door wouldn’t latch correctly and an appliance repairman said we would have to get a new microwave. My husband took the spring out and decided to just put the spring back. It had come unhooked somehow. He put it back and it’s worked fine going on 3 years later.

I just came on the internet to search the microwave, and mine is the 900W red version and i have only had it-well less than a year, and it just stopped. No noises, just stopped while i was defrosting some chicken. What the heck. Not cool.
