Whirlpool microwave doesn’t close 

Oh my gosh - whoever made this is an awesome human being. Thank you for the great step-by-step instruction 🙏

Thank you for this video! Saved me from having to wait two days for maintenance

Thank you for this video!!! This was my exact issue with my microwave. It's a KitchenAid but similar design. You saved me money from having a person come fix it.

I like how the microwave keeps running when you open the door. Hahaha FYI its probably the black switches Replace those..

Thank you Sir for this video. My first day on the job as a handyman and I'm making $$$ fixing a microwave with the same issue.

Thank you for this video! It really saved me tonight. I’m a single lady homeowner with no one to ask for help. Everytime something breaks in this house, I’m the one rolling up their sleeves. Just replaced my garbage disposal and now the darn microwave door wouldn’t close. Your video was quick and to the point. Thanks again!!

This is exactly what happened to my microwave. Thank you so much for putting this video out! How many kids y’all think have pushed those in and their microwave broke ? Mine did! Lol thank goodness I found this video. Tryin to fix it now

Thanks for posting this! Just fixed my microwave following along.

Thank you man! I have zero handyman skills and literally was poking the latch with tweezers. Found this video, 3 screws later it was done. 5 minutes. Zero skills. I would’ve been hitting it with a rock for hours if I didn’t find this video

Sir.. THANK YOU for making this video!

Thank you. I pressed them inside while i was deep cleaning it, had to watch your video to get it fixed.Thanks

Thank for this video! I just had the exact same problem with this model of microwave, but your clear step by step instructions helped me to resolve it!

Thank you for posting. This is the same problem I had, and fixed my Maytag Over the range microwave door.

Thank you so much!! I was dreading having to unmount it and taking it apart/replacing parts. We were without the use of it for 2 weeks before I decided to do a search. Appreciate this!!

Dude... you totally saved my ass! Thanks for posting!!

the exact video i needed. thank you for the clear tutorial.

Well 4 years ago you uploaded this video hoping to help others and you have succeeded! 4 years 40,000 views later and this video is still helping many I’m sure, but it didn’t help me it educated me and that knowledge will last for a very long time! My unit Is a whirlpool over the stove with fan MODEL-WMH53520CW-4. Which was almost the same only difference I saw was the screw in the front in between the LCD screen at top and the keypad under it. But with mine the keypad and LCD screen are 1 piece so instead of reaching the middle screw in the video from under the LCD screen you have to go from the top of the LCD screen that’s wide open after taking the top plastic piece that goes across the top off and you will get to the screw behind the LCD screen from the top on an angle still very easy. Then you push up on the LCD KEYPAD and it will come off. And the next thing that was different between the one in the video and mine it didn’t have that black cover piece behind it so was even easier to get back their and I let the LCD screen & number pad just hang backwards without removing any wire plugs which was still plenty of room to get you’re hand on each latch holder and reset them to fix the issue and if not for you’re vid I could of taken it apart and would have no clue how to reset them because I tried thinking about what I saw in you’re video but couldn’t figure it out so had to watch that part of you’re vid like 3 times in a row to get it right and I figured it out. And to put it back together it takes 2 minutes and I only had to remove 3 screws to begin with. Now she is back to normal working great but I won’t lie I was the reason it broke to begin with because sometimes I would open the microwave door and it would take like 2 second for the light to come on. So I thought maybe there’s something in the holes that lock the door so I slid a flathead screwdriver in each hole and heard a click and then thought that’s not good and after I popped both I tried to close the door but it wouldn’t work and I knew right away it was because I closed them clips. So I learned never do that again but I just wanna say thank you for uploading this vid because money is to tight right now to call a repair man especially for something that is a super easy fix. But without you’re video I would of had no chance and might have called a repair man that would of been like $2-$300 easily! So thank you once again!

OMG, I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!!! The microwave went out on Christmas Eve. I was able to follow your video and fix it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Thank you my Hispanic mom almost killed me for breaking the microwave your a livesaver

Thank you so much!!! It saves me tons of time. Now the microwave works without showing "door not closed"

Saved me a call to the home warranty company. Much appreciated.

super awesome, you made it look easy... and it was!!!! No new microwave needed!

dude... thanks for posting this I'm at an airbnb and their fucking microwave kept saying some door/open close error... the door would close fine, but I couldn't get it to stop so I checked online and the only thing people were talking about was some kind of circuit board error... i started messing with the little latches from the outside and ended up pushing them in entirely... and now the door wouldn't close at all. found your video, bought a screwdriver and fixed it myself and the microwave now operates fine... saved me from having to pay them for damages

Excellent video. Saved my day. Thank you so much my man.

Had the same problem. You fixed my girlfriends chicken tinders tonight. Thanks!

Thank you for posting this video. I was able to fix my kitchen aid microwave (model kmhs120ess) with your step by step instructions. Thanks again.

tysm bro i just saved my family a few hundred

I was having this problem with my Whirlpool microwave. I just followed the steps in your video and was able to fix it. Thank you so much!

Thanks for posting this! This saved me a lot of time and money

Bro, thank you so much for making this video

Thank you!!! This was exactly my problem and your instructions were fantastic!

This worked for my Maytag. Thank you so much. Saved me a few hundred bucks and a week of frustration.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!❤❤im house sitting and accidentally pushed those door locks in, I thought I was gonna have to buy a new $500 microwave for my mother in law but just a few screws and pushing those things back in and BAM!! FIXED🫶

Thank you!!!! This was exactly what I needed and didn’t have the words for when I was searching. 😀

Worked like a charm! Thanks for the video! Save me time and money!

I did exactly this without unplugging anything in the microwave. I unplugged the power and fixed the door but now it won’t turn on at all. Nothing on the circuit board of micro wave was unplugged

Thanks guys. This was a perfect repair! I’m having the same issue

idk how you flipped those with your fingers lol that ish hurt! I had to use needle nose pliers to push them lol

Great job explaining.

Thanks so much. Saved time and money

Helped me out a lot, great video!!

Thank you!! My whirlpool is a low profile so slightly different to get the panel off-but the fix you showed worked to fix mine!

Thank you for the detailed steps. Nice video.

my microwave has been in the same condition for a couple of months. I bought it under 2 years ago. I have been going without one and found out that I really need one. I was having trouble when I shut it, the latch would not catch, so I tried to clean the latch out and made it worse by pushing the latch in! I have been looking for one on sale but even on sale they are almost 400$ for the sensor cook model. I almost bought one but was short of cash. I'm sure glad I saw this first! I hope it solves the original problem of the door latch not wanting to catch, but even if it doesn't, it buys me some time before I have to spend all of that money.

Dude you guys just saved me a 100$, thanks a bunch!

Thanks that helped me re-set my switches in no time!

Thanks very much, worked like a charm!

Very nice and informative video, thanks!

FYI: Sometimes those switch stay back like that because the switch fails. My lower switch was fried and it prevented the door from closing.

Thank-you! Very helpful video.

Thank you, so much!!

You saved my microwave thanks bro

Thank you, you just saved me some money

Thank you so much.

Thanks, man! 👍

Thank you, I had it easy I was already missing 1 screw and that secondary panel.

Was this in Nashville? Looks like my condo! LOL - Thanks for the Video!

Thank you for this My microwave stopped working but now it’s back! It’s a Maytag - owned by whirlpool Cheers bro!

Thank you!!

TY life saver.

man thank you so much

Thank you

Thank you brooo you saved my life from my mom she was gana kill me for braking the microwave door

Thank you sir! Fixed mine in 10 minutes. Whirlpool microwaves are bad

You should always remove power before servicing appliance.

Is there a fix with our taking it apart. Something I can wedge it out with?

You're my guy!

This fix also works for Maytag microwaves.

I did this and now my microwave doesn't work at all. Does it have to do with the fact that I didn't plug it off while doing this? Any way to fix it?

What if I did this and it still won’t close? It’s like that too inside piece doesn’t catch when the door closes.

You have to take the microwave half way apart to reset door switches??? Thanks for the video and boo on the designers.

I pushed the latches in with a chop stick trying to see why the sensor read the door was open when it was closed

If I don’t unplug any wires do I still have to unplug from wall? I can see the switch without unplugging any wires. Just asking because my microwave isn’t just a plug in, it’s wired in and I’m not sure how to mess with those.

My microwave keeps saying door when I try to heat anything up. Anything suggestion?

So i fixed the door but now it doesn’t work at all. I double checked the wiring to make sure they were all connected. Nothing, please help

I have to try this on my lg. i thought it was the door spring but turns out there is no door spring. Must be this latch

Is there any way to get that switch back into position without getting inside of it?

I have the exact same microwave

I fucking love you just know eh 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Mines came all the way off and I'm trying to figure which way the spring goes in . Both fell off.

yea my bottom one is broken its sliding left bleh.. gotta get the part

Raush Coleman home I see. Me microwave keeps on throwing my switch box outside need help to fix it

This was SO helpful! Thank you! Saved us from having to buy a new microwave or call a technician.

Cook with the door open much?lol

Can someone please help

Yo we’re videoing too fast in the beginning

Thank you! Just fixed my girlfriends ....in like 10 minutes.... Do you know what causes this?
