Montgomery Wards Microwave door not opening/closing properly
Won’t your Montgomery Wards microwave door open? Won't close, or the door latch is not working, start by inspecting the open lever for damage, since it is the most likely cause of a stuck door. Next, check the door spring, door latch, and plastic door hook. A broken door hook may keep the latch engaged and prevent the door from releasing properly, while a damaged latch can stop the door from closing securely. If these parts look intact, inspect the button spring inside the door open button, followed by the button itself, which may have a broken internal component. Do not force a microwave door stuck in the closed position, because forcing it can damage the latch or door hooks. Replace the damaged open lever, spring, latch, hook, button spring, or button as needed. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Montgomery Wards microwave. Most door repairs do not require removing the outer cabinet, but any repair that does requires caution: the high-voltage capacitor stores a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. It must be properly discharged before interior work, so hire a qualified technician if you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures.

04 - Montgomery Wards 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.
