Jenn Air Microwave door not opening/closing properly
When a Jenn Air microwave door won't open or close, start with the open lever, the most likely cause of a failed door release. A damaged or broken open lever can prevent the door from unlatching properly. Next, inspect the door spring, which returns the release mechanism after you press the button. If the spring is broken, the door may stay stuck or fail to open. A damaged door latch can also keep the Jenn Air microwave door from closing securely, while a worn or broken plastic door hook may not engage or release the latch correctly. If these parts look intact, check the button spring inside the door open button, followed by the button itself. A broken internal component in the button can prevent the release mechanism from working. These checks apply whether your Jenn Air microwave door is stuck closed, won't latch, or will not stay closed. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement open lever, door spring, door latch, door hook, button spring, or button for your microwave. Do not operate the microwave if the door does not close securely or the door switches cannot engage properly.

04 - Jenn Air Microwave Door Hook
The door hook engages with the door latch to keep the door closed during operation. Since the door hook is made of plastic, it can break due to regular wear. If the door hook is broken, it won’t release the door properly, preventing the door from opening. If the door hook is broken, replace it.
