Roper Microwave door not opening/closing properly
If your Roper microwave door won't open or close properly, start by inspecting the open lever, the most likely cause. A damaged open lever can prevent the door release from operating correctly. Next, check the door spring for damage, followed by the door latch. A broken latch may keep the door from securing or releasing. Inspect the plastic door hook as well, since it engages the latch and can break from normal wear, leaving the microwave door stuck. If these parts look intact, check the button spring inside the door open button, then inspect the button for a broken internal component. These repairs can often correct a Roper microwave door latch problem, microwave door won't open issue, or microwave door won't close symptom. Enter your microwave's model number to find the exact replacement open lever, door spring, door latch, door hook, button spring, or button for your appliance. Most door-part repairs do not require removing the outer cabinet. If cabinet access is necessary, unplug the microwave first and remember that the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after power is disconnected. Proper capacitor discharge is required before interior work, so use a qualified technician if you are not familiar with that procedure.

04 - Roper 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.
