GE Microwave door not opening/closing properly
If your GE microwave door won't open, won't close, or feels stuck, start by inspecting the open lever, which can break or become damaged and prevent the release mechanism from working. Next, check the door spring for damage, followed by the door latch. A worn or broken latch may keep the door from closing securely. The plastic door hook engages the latch and can break from normal use, causing the microwave door latch to stop working or preventing the door from opening after it closes. Also inspect the button spring inside the door open button and the button itself, since either can fail and make the door release difficult. These are common GE microwave door fix parts and may resolve a microwave door stuck problem without replacing the appliance. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement open lever, door spring, latch, hook, button spring, or button for your specific GE microwave. These repairs usually involve the door assembly, but do not open the outer cabinet unless necessary. The high-voltage capacitor stores a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged and must be properly discharged before interior work. If cabinet access or capacitor discharge is required, use a qualified technician.

04 - GE 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.
