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.

Maytag Microwave Top Interlock Support
PartSelect Number PS11745301
Manufacturer Part Number WP8206419
This top interlock support is a genuine OEM safety component designed for microwave ovens. It plays a critical role in ensuring the appliance operates only when the door is securely closed, preventing potential radiation exposure. The support holds the interlock switch in place and provides a reliable latching point, allowing the microwave to function safely and efficiently. A faulty or misaligned support may result in the microwave failing to start, operating with the door ajar, or displaying error codes related to the door lock system. Replacing this part restores proper door engagement and ensures safe operation. Installation may require disassembling the control panel and should be performed with the appliance unplugged.

Maytag Microwave Lever Switch (lower)
PartSelect Number PS4231412
Manufacturer Part Number DE66-90106B
Installation Instructions
Lynn from LOUISVILLE, KY
Microwave would not start when door closed. Sometimes you could push in or jiggle door and it would work for awhile and then it woud stop again. I knew it eas a door switch issue but wasn't certain which of the 3 or the body latch itself.
I removed the body latch assembly and found the bottom micro switch (NC) terminal burnt and loose. I replaced and working perfectly fine now. Easy diagnose and easy repair.
