Door Will Not Close - Over-the-Range Microwave
Possible Solutions
Is the door latch/lock blocked?
Ensure the door latch is not blocked. Below are some common items that may prevent the microwave from closing or opening:
- Packing and/or shipping material
- Dish or bakeware. Ensure the dish is the correct size for the microwave, an oversized plate will prevent the door from closing.
- Check that the cooking rack (if equipped) is not out of position and not allowing the door to close.
Is the microwave level?
