Gibson Microwave door not opening/closing properly
Won’t your Gibson microwave door open or close properly? Start with the open lever, the most likely cause. A damaged open lever can prevent the release mechanism from working correctly and should be replaced. Next, inspect the door spring, which can break and stop the door from opening or closing smoothly. A damaged door latch may also keep the door from securing or releasing. Check the plastic door hook as well, since a broken hook may remain engaged with the latch and leave the microwave door stuck. If these parts are intact, inspect the button spring inside the door open button, followed by the button itself for a broken internal component. These repairs can resolve a microwave door latch problem, microwave door won't open, or microwave door won't close issue. Enter your Gibson microwave model number to find the exact replacement open lever, door spring, latch, hook, button spring, or button for your appliance. If the repair requires removing the outer cabinet, unplug the microwave first. Its high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after unplugging and must be properly discharged before interior work. Use a qualified technician if you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures.

04 - Gibson 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.
