Problem
Maytag MMV4206FZ-2 Microwave by Whirlpool door switches not working manufacture date 2017.
Tools
Philips screwdriver , flat screwdriver, very small flat screwdriver (to release wire connection), pen to mark wires, phone to take pictures of wires, needle nosed plier.
Repair & Advice
Part PD00043929 Whirlpool Bottom Interlock Assembly and part W11182140 Upper Interlock Assembly worked on Maytag model MMV4206FZ-2 even though there was a warning stating that it may not. Buying this part with all switches included was better since getting the parts off the old one will most likely brake the part.
It also costs more to buy the other parts individually.

Problem
Door switch on my Kitchenaide microwave stopped working.
Tools
Phillips screwdriver, torx bit screwdriver, and needle nose players.
Repair & Advice
Microwave door switch stopped working. There are two door switch latches on this microwave and the lower door switch (inside the unit) was broken. This safety switch is used to pause cooking if the microwave door is opened. Unplugged the microwave, removed the plastic vent and then the control panel. Used needle nose plyers to gently pull wires and remove broken plastic lower internal door switch. Installed new switch, reassembled, and tested. I’m mechanically inclined and repair took 20 minutes.
Be safe, unplug the power before disassembly.
