• ** REMEMBER! **The microwave can still shock you even unplugged!!

    ALWAYS discharge the high-voltage capacitor first if you even think your hands will come close to any HIGH VOLTAGE components.

    Jeff mentions this: Anything in the high voltage ( magnetron, capacitor, diode, wires to and from ):
    ...Use a metal ( not the shiny chrome type ) screw driver with a insulated handle to short across ( touch both at the same time ) the terminals of the high voltage capacitor to discharge it.

I thought my key latch needed to be replaced, but when I pulled the old one out, a cracked piece fell out. The latch and hook was completely intact. I cannot remount because the top glide (plastic mounting bracket) is now missing. It looked to be a molded item in the door and it is where the latch key glides into. Can anyone suggest if I need a whole door replacement or which part of the door needs replacing. I cannot tell what actual item this piece is a part of. Thanks in advance.

Hey same thing happened to me, did you figure out what part needs to be replaced? Do I need to order the entire door? Thanks for any help!!!
