We’ve all been there: you put your food in the microwave, close the door, hit “start,” and… nothing happens. Before you panic and assume your microwave is dead, take a moment to check the door latch.
Over time, the plastic latches on a microwave door can wear down or get a little misaligned. When this happens, the safety switches inside the microwave won’t engage properly, which prevents the microwave from turning on. It’s a built-in safety feature, but it can be frustrating when it’s the only thing stopping your dinner from heating up.
Often, a gentle adjustment is all it takes to get things working again. If you’re a DIYer, you might even be able to replace the latch yourself. It’s a simple and inexpensive fix that could save you from having to buy a whole new microwave.
So next time your microwave is on the fritz, start with the easiest solution first. You might be surprised at how quickly you can solve the problem!
