Magic Chef Microwave door not opening/closing properly
When your Magic Chef microwave door won't open or close, the open lever is the most likely cause. Inspect the lever for cracks, looseness, or other damage and replace it if it cannot release the door. Next, check the door spring, which can break and prevent the door mechanism from moving correctly. A damaged door latch can also keep the door from closing securely or releasing, while a broken plastic door hook may remain engaged with the latch and prevent the door from opening. If these parts look intact, inspect the button spring inside the door open button, followed by the button itself, since a broken internal component can stop the release mechanism from working. These repairs can often resolve a microwave door stuck closed, microwave door won't open, or microwave door won't close problem. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement open lever, door spring, latch, hook, button spring, or button for your specific Magic Chef microwave. Most door repairs do not require removing the outer cabinet, but any repair that does requires caution because the high-voltage capacitor stores a lethal charge even after unplugging. It must be properly discharged, so use a qualified technician if you are not familiar with that procedure.

04 - Magic Chef 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.
