Your video was super perfect as my wife wanted me to buy a new microwave. Your instructions were exactly what I needed as I had the same model as iin the video. Thanks so much for your help and cost savings.......now to buy a new fishing rod with the cost savings!!
Ran into this problem this morning. Saw your video and tackled this today. Only change I made was to use a twist tie through the drilled hole to replicate the hook on the latch mechanism that had broken. I also used some auto trim tools I had to remove the plastic interior cover. Worked perfectly. Thanks so much for the instructional video and for saving me some money!
Haha, awesome. I almost ordered a new microwave last night but had trouble at checkout. This morning I decided to do a quick research instead and found your video. 10 minutes later my microwave is back in action! You just saved me $350!!! THANK YOU!
my problem is the hole those latch arms go into, the thing in there that receives. its spring loaded i guess, and it popped up. Best way i can describe it, the door was being softly closed, which triggered it to spring up, but the door fell back a cm, so the receiver thing popped up inside without being able to grab the latch arm.
Some models you don't have to take the door off, just the plastic thing. In fact I didn't even take the whole plastic square piece of, just enough to get to the latch mechanism

Perfect! I had the same problem and this worked! Thank you!!! 😊
Thank you for this video! Easily saved us a frustrating experience to replace a microwave!
Thanks for this video. Couldn't get a replacement part and the drilling hack saved me.
Same exact issue with my microwave (same GE model#) and I was able to fix it in 15 mins thanks to your video.
Omg thank you. This saved my a couple hundred bucks and a nearly brand new microwave from going into a landfill.
Thank you for posting this content 🎉
I appreciate you, man. This guide helped me fix it.

Thank you, this really helped a lot and saved me a lot of money 👍🏾
Thanks for the information, very easy
Good job, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Phillip!
Great video !! thanks
What's the part number?
I didn't think super glue at work now makes me wonder or try that on my walk away there's a few cracks on mine
Got to have the right superglue !!
What if the spring is fine? Mine won't close it won't latch on the 2 holes on the microwave like if something isn't aligned
If it slides in fine and doesn't latch then you have a micro-switch stuck, if it doesn't go into the holes at all then yes you have an alignment issue
@ApartmentMaintenancePro thanks for the reply. I was able to figure it out after removing the control pannel. Thank you! Your video helped a lot
