Samsung Microwave door not opening/closing properly
If your Samsung microwave door won't open or close, the open lever is the most likely cause. Inspect it for cracks, wear, or damage, and replace it if it no longer releases the door. Next, check the door spring, door latch, and plastic door hook. A broken hook may engage the latch but prevent the door from releasing, while a damaged latch can keep the door from closing securely. If the door open button feels loose or does not return, inspect the button spring and button for broken internal components. These are common causes of a microwave door stuck, a microwave door latch not working, or a Samsung microwave door that won't close. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement open lever, spring, latch, hook, or button for your microwave. Some repairs require removing the outer cabinet. Unplug the microwave first, and remember that the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after power is disconnected. It must be properly discharged before any interior work. If you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician perform the repair.

04 - Samsung 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.
