Installation Instructions
Mark from HOMER GLEN, IL
Door switch inconsistent operation for Open/Close sensing.
Ordered top & bottom micro-switches and mounting plate parts. Internet reviews could not find specifics if the issue was due to a top/bottom or combination of micro-switch or mounting plate failure. Pulled the plug. Removed the top vent assembly cover held in by 2 Phillips screws inside the vent. Removed the control panel held in by 1 Phillip screw at the top vent assembly area. Lifted control panel upward to release the catch and moved it off to the side - didn't disconnect any leads. Used a Torx bit to remove the door switch mounting plates at the front and pulled the plates through the opening from the control panel. Documented the wire color code connections, the top plate uses 2 micro's with one using both the closed & open contact. Installed the respective micros on the mounting plates and worked backwards with the wiring and removal steps. Once completed, the open/close sensing has worked every time.

Microwave Secondary Door Switch
PartSelect Number PS237421
Manufacturer Part Number WB24X829
The secondary door switch is a simple on/off mechanism that stops the microwave from operating when the door is open (normally opened). The switch monitors the door latch position, and communicates whether the door is open or closed to the electrical control board. This door switch is approximately 1 inch long, and has 2 metal prongs called terminals that extend out of its body. Common symptoms related to a faulty secondary door switch include: microwave will not turn/shut off, or the microwave will not heat properly.
NOTE: Before you begin this repair, first make sure your microwave is unplugged, and that your capacitor is discharged. A capacitor stores large amounts of electricity even when your microwave is unplugged.

- Doesn’t shut off
- No heat

Marla from Arlington, TX
light worked, timer and control pad worked, but no turntable, no heat, no noises of any sort, just didn't start up
Noted on partselect.com that someone else with this problem, found it to be secondary door switch. There are three door switches in this model, but online info noted that one of the three might feel "soft" (in my case, one switch clicked in a rather "jiggly" way, the other two were strong decisive clicks.) To access the door switches on this model was the only difficult part. First use a torx bit to remove the two torx screws below the latches inside the microwave. This frees the latching part inside, that holds the door switches, which you will remove after you take off the control panel. The top grill has to come off before you can remove the door panel. Remove the screws above the grill, on the microwave top cover, The grill on this model is covered with a panel that moves out when it vents. After removing the two top screws, the covered grill vent slides left to remove. Be careful, as the sliding tabs are plastic. Wiggle and jiggle it, to slip it off. Below the removed grill, is a small metal grill with one screw in lower center. Remove that screw, and wiggle that out. You'll then see the one screw that holds on the control panel. Remove this screw, and lift the control panel up to remove. Again, go slowly and gently, as the bottom tabs holding the control panel in, are also plastic and easily broken. Lay the control panel on something, (I used the coffee maker) and pull out the wire bundles tucked on the left, that are attached to the latching panel. Wiggle the latching panel gently to lift it up off of it's plastic tabs and pull it out towards you, so you can see the three door switches. Each switch (part number WB24X829) has a little black switch on it. Feel each switch with either your finger, or a screwdriver to see which one doesn't "click" strongly. The weak one is the one you will replace. The door switches are fitted into a tab, and plugged into their wires. Remove the defective switch, pull out the wires, and replace it with the new switch, plugging back the wires, and slipping it back into it's plastic tabs. Then put everything back together in reverse order. The entire job took me fifteen minutes EXCEPT for figuring out how to slide off the upper grill, which I have told you. A repairman would have cost $150, the part was $18. AND, there's a good chance, the other two switches will get "used up" in the next year or so as well, so I'll be ready next time. Thank you, Partselect, why work all day, to make money, only to give it to somebody else, for fifteen minutes of work. All I needed was the knowledge.

Microwave Door Switch
PartSelect Number PS12071302
Manufacturer Part Number 5304509459
This door switch is designed for use with various makes and models of microwaves and is a genuine OEM part. This individually sold switch connects to the frame of the microwave through the door switch holder, which will need to be removed completely in order to replace this switch. If your microwave will not start, displays error codes, or if the door will not shut properly and the inner light stays on, the switch could have broken from use and is in need of replacement. Due to the high voltage used within the components of microwaves, take extra caution when repairing your microwave. To replace the door switch in your microwave, disconnect the microwave from the power, and use a flat-head screwdriver to gain access to the switch through the main control panel.

Installation Instructions
Diane from FREEPORT, IL
Intermittently, when closing the microwave door it would break the circuit at the breaker box
Unplug microwave. Removed 2 screws from the top of the microwave to remove the top plastic strip carefully because the tabs can break off. Remove one screw above the control panel and one screw underneath the control panel. The control panel should come out. Take a picture of the wiring connections to help identify how to put it back together. Carefully disconnect each wire set using a needle nose plier if needed. There are 3 sets of wires that go to the 3 door switches. After the control panel is removed there are 2 or three screws to remove that hold the door latch mechanism. With the door open, entirely remove the latch mechanism. Pay attention to the 3 switches, one has a different number on it and the other two have the same number but differ by being normally closed and normally open. You can test them or just replace them. Note I ordered the 3 switches by part number but got 1 switch that was incorrect and was the same as the other one. There is a plastic tab that needs to be depressed at the bottom of the switch casing in order to get the switch out. The problem with my microwave ended up being the lever was worn visibly by door misalignment with the latch. One of the screws holding the latch in position was missing. The door was not consistently activating the lever and the bottom switch. Replaced the latch, lever and two of the 3 switches, even though they didn’t need it. Check door alignment with latch. Reassemble.
