The Microwave Latch Board and Door Switch Assembly comprises products from LG and Sears-Kenmore. This assembly serves as an authentic replacement component for LG microwaves, featuring a door latch housing equipped with two door switches and an interlock switch.
The interlock switch plays a vital role by halting the microwave’s operation when the door is improperly closed, thus disabling power to prevent microwave emissions with an open door.
Typical indicators of a malfunction include:
- The microwave fails to begin operation or heats when the door remains open.
- There is sparking or arcing around the door seal or frame.
- Error codes appear, indicating problems with the interlock system.
This genuine LG component reliably restores functionality to both the latch housing and the safety interlock system. Furthermore, it is compatible with select models from GE, Kenmore, and Samsung that utilize similar LG-supplied door components.
