Thank you so much for this detailed yet easy to understand video. You saved my microwave from going into the landfill.

You just saved me $1000!! No joke. We called a repair man and over the phone we were told to go buy a new one as it couldn’t be repaired! We actually went shopping for a new one today! As a last ditch effort I Thank God I looked on KZfaq and found your video🙏🏻 We have a Maytag and your instructions were perfect to fix this issue! Thank you so very much for posting this!!

Great video! Fixed our Whirlpool OTR Microwave Convection oven thanks to this video! Exact same latch on the Gold Series as the one in the video. No way we could have figured this out without your video! Thank YOU! Thank YOU!!!

HOLY FREAKING CRAPOLA THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!! I was fiddling with the latches to see why the door wasn't always registering as closed and.... POP POP... they both pulled themselves into the abyss of the microwave innards in, what I can only assume, was an act of violence towards me for trying too fiddle with things beyond my abilities!!! I thought I broke them, but still thought they looked like they were sitting in there just out of reach. Was just about to start deep cleaning my entire apartment and degrease the crevasses of the microwave not yet discovered... ***not because I'm a hoarder, I promise - just your run of the mill anxiety that my place look unlived in to guests or they will think I'm a disgusting trash person and kick me out... no big deal :)*** ... and once I'm done deep cleaning in a few days... finally call my apartment maintenance and hope they can fix it and also do not blame me/charge me for breaking it.... AHHHH! BUT! YOU SAVED ME FROM GOING THROUGH ALL OF THAT! AAND! You made me look like a badass to my husband when I fixed it and then got to (super casually and not in a gloating way at all) tell him that I fixed the door issue on my own, and it was "No big deal... just had to open up the microwave and do some work behind the electronic panel... easy peasy, and yes - I DID remember to unplug it beforehand. Also, when I put it all back together and plugged it in - IT WORKS! and now the door shuts. BOOM!" All that to say - Thank you so much for making this very niche and obscure video for me and the few others out there who find themselves facing the consequences of their need to fiddle with things they don't understand! You made my week - I hope that karma is real and that it finds you ASAP! Cheers! 🤸‍♀💃🙌👏

Dude, Awesome.... got it first try. You're the MAN!

i just ran around my kitchen screaming "I FIXED IT! I FIXED IT! OMG, I FIXED IT!!!" you are my hero!!! you just saved me hundreds!

Thanks it worked took about an hour but it fixed the problem just never use a stick to push latch with door open LOL

Thank you I was about to spend over $600.00 on a new install now I don’t. I did remove the latch and reset it it was a little easier. I liked the fact you kept the vid simple instead of a 20 minute video great job !👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I just want to stop in and tell you how helpful this video is! I thought I broke the microwave and we would have to buy a new one. I watched your video and did step by step what you said to do, and I fixed it! I am very thankful I found your video, it was super helpful and I appreciate it!

Thank u so much, precise and easy to follow..my microwave all of a sudden had a door error, this video help me fix d problem and save me $$$ from calling a handyman..

You saved me a $279 service call and probably a lot of B.S. "upsell" replacement parts! Thank you!!

Thanks! That fixed the problem for me. I was kind of surprised because both interlocks "appeared" to be in the correct position, but I pushed them in and back out just to be safe. Started it back up and no more error message! Thanks for the video.

Thank you my friend. Everyone else has a video about the broken door latch and spring. My door latch was broken and I did their fix but the door still wouldn't close. Your video helped me fix the issue, thank you again!

Now I can keep my money and I won't starve! All thanks to you!

You are a lifesaver! Thank you for posting this video. God bless you.

Great video! Same model I have, and resetting them worked for now. Fingers crossed it lasts!

Awesome I followed all that you have said and it work's I feel great thank you ,Awesome work's!

Great help! I was getting the open door message and I jammed the 2 clips by mistake and thought I had broken the jams because it would not close. I did this and reset the clips. cleaned the edges around the door and it works perfectly. Very good video, saved me $$

This worked, THANKS!

Thanks my friend😀 i fix it 👍👍

Informative... thanks

Informative Sir

Thanks for taking the time to create this helpful video. You helped me get my microwave working again!

Thanks for the video. Just a heads up. Never run the microwave empty. Even for testing. throw a cup of water in there. The microwave energy needs to go somewhere.

Change the batteries in your smoke alarm.

Cool!

Is there any fix where I don’t have to remove anything I don’t have a screw driver

I was so hungry, sitting here unable to heat up my leftovers. Thank you for making this video!

Where do i unplug power

How do I get this door off

Ok I did this and it didnt seem to be out of place but I moved it back & forth a coille times. I closed the door and microwave came on by itself!! Help! I cant change timer or anything. I open door, it shuts off, close it, it starts. What in the world have I done? 😩

I'm not an expert by any means, but in the beginning of the video where you show the front of the microwave, it looks like the door could be sagging just a little bit. I wonder if this could be the cause. It is kind of a heavy door for a microwave. Just wanted to mention it just in case this didn't work for anyone else out there.

🆘 Think twice before you buy the Whirlpool microwave in the above video. When the light won’t shut off the only way to fix it is to buy a new motherboard, and they range in price from $155 to over $350 plus tax and shipping. And it’s an inherent problem in this Whirlpool microwave unit 0:05 wmh53521hz. The guy in the video does an excellent job showing how to replace it but you can buy a new microwave for $450 or LED stick up under cabinet lights for under $10 as a solution.

All this procedure might be totally unnecessary: I just unplugged and replugged my microwave, that did it for me

I can not see how you unplugged the microwave

The moment you realize you have to be a mr. fix it to close you rmicrowave door because some people need a sensor to remember to close the door. Either people are getting dumber or manufacturers are getting smarter.
