Very good. This video helped me with problem solving my microwave. I knew it was something along these lines and you steered me in the right direction!

Great to hear that. This is exactly why I made the video.

I appreciate your time and attention to details on this, Ed. I'm going in--wish me luck!

Thank you. This helped immensely, i had just taken out the switch to look for a replacement went i cam e across your video. I fixed the switch and adjusted the door which was hanging a bit low and all seems good now. Thanks again.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Was able to fix mine following your steps. Just like your video, my switch was fused, able to separate with the same style knife you used. Really appreciate it, thank you again.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have already ordered a new switch and waiting for it to arrive. I found your video tonight and see that I need to check the 5.00 latch or I may blow the new 50.00 switch. Saving me time and money! The prior switch is welded together pretty good. Going to give it a shot at separating the welded connections. Thank you!

@edwardlyon8169 2 года назад

Were you able to separate the connections? I had to remove the parts on the original switch to separate the contacts but was able to make it work. Hope you were successful. Ed

@tinaday4228 2 года назад

@@edwardlyon8169 No. The contacts are really welded together. I am still working on trying. Looking to see if I can buy the parts somewhere. I am also replacing the hook latch in case there is a bit of wear. That seems to be a culprit in the fail of the switch.

@richardsleight2523 2 года назад

The problem with mine was that the "ramp" the door locks ride up on were worn out enough to not compress the middle switch. This caused the fuse to blow when the unit was turned on. A new Latch Board [WB06X10610] fixed it.

Ed, I have a bad monitor switch and I did open it and free the contacts but I notice the pin that held the switch in place broke . I tried super gluing it but to no avail. when you say you changed the latch are you referring to the plastic white assembly that holds the switches or the latch hooks coming form the door itself.?

@edwardlyon8169 3 года назад

I had to change the latch hooks coming from the door. Mine had worn down and would no longer depress the toggle switch when it was closed. Thanks for watching and good luck repairing yours.

Go Gamecocks - my bottom latch switch seems to activate, but when fully depressed, the switch opens back up and I have a bunch of melted plastic on the bottom - any clue what causes this to fail - the bottom switch mainly seems to supply 110V power to the HV Xfmr and power to the monitor switch which appears to provide power to the LV Xfmr. If you are in the Columbia, SC area, can you recommend any local parts supply stores that would have these switches in stock.

@edwardlyon8169 3 года назад

Hi Stan, You have a very interesting issue. The only thing I can suggest is to unplug the microwave and test the switch with a multimeter. Does the switch close and open as expected with the door open and then closed? It is possible the switch is defective. Can you open the switch to see if there is a defective part inside? (If it is melted, this will not work) There are no places in Columbia which sells these parts. Check out ebay, your best bet. I had to buy mine from GE online. If you can find an after market one, that is your best bet, especially if it melts again. Good luck. Ed
