Litton Microwave door not opening/closing properly
If your Litton microwave door won't open or close properly, inspect the door-opening components in order of likelihood. Start with the open lever, which may be damaged and unable to release the door. Next, check the door spring for breaks, followed by the door latch for damage or misalignment. A plastic door hook can also break from regular wear, preventing the latch from engaging or releasing correctly. If these parts look intact, inspect the button spring inside the door open button, then check the button for a broken internal component. Replace any damaged open lever, door spring, door latch, door hook, button spring, or door button with the correct part for your model. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Litton microwave. Door repairs usually involve accessible components, but any repair that requires removing the outer cabinet must be handled carefully. The high-voltage capacitor stores a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged and must be properly discharged before interior work. If you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician complete the repair.

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.
