This was exactly what I needed to know -how to get the plastic trim off without damage. My door mounted spring arm had broken, so I just used one of the metal channels on the side as a new spring purchase point. 15 minutes and saved $300.00! Thank you Paul!

Paul, You rock, man. I got home last night and my wife told me our Frigidaire microwave wasn't working. It only took a few minutes to conclude the door latch was broken. I found your video, and the most valuable piece was how you demonstrated the removal of the plastic framing. Perhaps a half hour later, our appliance was back in working order thanks to your advice. Many thanks!

Dude, you rule. This was perfect! Two local repair shops said it wasn't repairable and I wasn't seeing the broken tab so didn't know how the spring worked. I was one step from buying a new microwave and you saved the day! You need a "donate" button :-)

Mine is a Maytag but the process is exactly as you show. I got the trim off. Lifted the latch up and off. Low and behold, there was the spring just dangling there with the broken plastic it was once hooked to laying in the rim of the door. Isn't that something!! Thanks for doing what you do. I put this microwave in a year ago. I really didn't want to have to take it out again. Especially over a door latch. You saved the day!!

Whalah! Paul, you are a god send! Your instructions and descriptions were so easy to understand. I like that you were specific to warn how not to remove the trim cover as well. I was lucky that the arm on the main piece was not broken, so I didn't have to use a drill. What was broken was the plastic piece on the door that the spring was hooked to. All I did was hook the spring to the closest metal piece (like the one you show in your video), then I popped the trim cover back on, and not my microwave is usable again! It is Saturday, so the odds of me getting someone in to fix this thing before my party here at my house tomorrow was slim to none. So you saved me time calling to find someone available, scheduling the time, being here when the repair main arrives, and of course, the cost of the repair would have been at least $75 for the service call plus parts.! Thanks again, Paul!!! Mimi

Dear Paul, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video that you posted. You probably saved us a big repair bill! Who knows how much a repair person might have charged for this fix and if we would have been told the truth about what was wrong. Our microwave would not even work because of the door not having enough tension. The plastic hook was broken off so I just hooked the spring on to one of the metal tabs on the side. We have a Frigidaire Gallery so if anyone else sees this, this fix works for that microwave. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

The repairman came out, for the $85 service call. I did not watch him, but he was honest about what it was. He, without redrilling, re positioned the spring, but that failed after 48 hours. Called him again, and he said new door is $290+, but should he tell his associates to talk to me about a getting new microwave? I was deciding what to do, when I came across your video. After watching once, with a butter knife, and my hands, I fixed it 5 minutes. That is a great video. Thank you.

THANK YOU! Came home today to find my kids had been fighting over warming up some leftover popcorn chicken, and my teenager slammed the microwave door and broke the latch. Got right online and looked up the model info, and found your video about repairing the latch. In my case, it wasn't the hook on the latch mechanism that was broken, but rather the plastic hook within the frame of the door that the other end of the spring attaches to that broke off. I simply connected it to on of those metal slots on the side to restore tension. Literally, a 2 minute fix! Thank you for sharing this! And my daughter thanks you for not having to purchase a new microwave! ;-)

My man Paul! I had rotator cuff surgery last week and my right arm is completely immobilized. I thought I was looking at a couple hundred dollar service call to fix this problem. Your instruction were so clear, I was able to fix this with one hand tied down! Thanks for saving me money.

Thanks Paul! Your video saved me from buying a part that I didn't need. And, my husband was blown away that I fixed the microwave! He thinks I'm a mechanical genius - I didn't mention how easy it was. ;-)

Thanks Paul! I was already searching the store ads and was expecting to spend over $100 to replace my microwave because the door latch failed. I followed your video and 15 mins later my microwave door was fixed!

Fantastic, 10 minutes and done. This is the second time I repaired my microwave, first time it was the door switch, a bit more involved. This was easy. Thanks!

That was the perfect fix and probably saved me a bunch of money from buying a new door or knowing me a new microwave. Thank you!

Paul, thanks for doing this. Great instructions. I couldn't find the spring so I took a little run to the store. You saved me the cost of a new microwave and a time-consuming​ installation.

Awesome video! I was just about to call a repair company, when I Googled "microwave door wont close". This took me less than 10 minutes to fix, and saved me at least $100.00. The little piece that broke was on the door, not the latch. I am sure they would have said I needed a new door. Clipped the spring to the metal tab things on the door, works great! Thanks for posting this!
