Latch/Switch Holder

Latch/Switch Holder

Blowing fuses and main breaker

Screwdriver, Long-Nose Pliers, and Multi-Meter

I had already replaced one burned out mini-switch, but the problem returned after about a week. I found a video on YouTube that described my issue, and that replacing the entire switch panel would fix the problem.

Fuse blowing when door opened during operation.

Philips screw driver, multimeter.

It was evident one of the door switches was either bad or the rail was worn. When I checked the switches with a multimeter I didn’t get a definite bad indication but they were loose so I replaced the rail and all switches which solved my problem. Prior to this I had tried to confirm I had a bad micro switch but they each showed working correctly so upon removing one of the switches I noticed a tab holding one switch was broken, this allowed the switch to move and not make contact as it should so I replaced both the rail and all three switches which solved my problem!

If the microwave door was opened before unit shut off, it would blow the fuse. The Latch/Switch Holder slots were worn so much that the safety switches were out of sync.

I used a #1 and #2 phillips screwdriver. I also used a small pocket flat blade screwdriver.

I followed the instructions from the Frigidaire online repair video. REMEMBER TO SHUT OFF THE POWER!
