Model number nn-sn797s door key latch replacement

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.
Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.
Door switches are most often damaged by opening the door while it's cooking (instead of pressing Stop / Clear first) or food
/ grease debris in the switch.

SOURCE: Need door assembly diagram to
While I don't have that model's diagram,
normally
you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo)
and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.
Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) here that demonstrates how it's done.
Normally the problem is not the spring, but a broken
spring mounting tab on the door latch head (hook) assembly or the inner
door panel.
If it's the door panel, it's usually easier and cheaper to use epoxy and some kind of hardware to fashion a new spring mount.
The door latch head (hook) is easy to replace or repair if that's the issue.
You can order Panasonic parts here.
We're happy to help you and we'd appreciate your
thoughtful rating of our answer.

If
you gently push up on the door latches (hook-like devices on the door)
there should be spring tension. If they just flop right up, the spring
is off.

It sounds like the push to open lever is cracked or broken. You have to remove the 'wrapper' to open the door manually from the inside to check the 'door keys' or door hooks to make sure that they are in tact. Then, check the door opening lever between the 'push to open button' and the lower door key.

Your DOOR LEVER probably is broken. To open the door remove the filter (2 screws at the top) then remore the control panel by removing the screw holding it in place UNPLUG THE MACHINE. then unlatch the door. BUT I am trying to find a door lever and find they are no longer availabel.
