LG Microwave door not opening/closing properly
If your LG microwave door won't open, won't close, or the door latch is not working, inspect the door components in this order. The open lever is the most likely cause and can break or become damaged, preventing the release mechanism from operating. Next, check the door spring for damage, followed by the door latch, which must engage and release correctly. A broken plastic door hook can also remain caught in the latch, leaving the microwave door stuck. If these parts are intact, inspect the button spring inside the door-open button, then the button itself for a broken internal component. These repairs can resolve an LG microwave door problem without replacing the entire appliance. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement open lever, door spring, door latch, door hook, button spring, or button for your specific microwave. Some repairs require removing the outer cabinet. Before any interior work, unplug the microwave and remember that its high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after power is disconnected. The capacitor must be properly discharged, and anyone unfamiliar with capacitor discharge procedures should have a qualified technician complete the repair.

04 - LG 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.
