I own a Frigidaire Galley Microwave model # FGMV174KFA and the other day the microwave would not work after the house cleaner did her work! The microwave door did not latch and the start button would not turn the unit on! The door felt loose and would not latch so I was thinking oh no time for a new microwave! This microwave has 2 plastic latches on it and looked fine but each time I closed the door the unit would not start! I found a fix for this and thought I would share it for those that want to fix their microwave! I took the spring out of a ball point pen cut the spring in half and installed the spring into the top latch and pushed this in by hand! To my amazement this made the microwave work again causing the latch to hit the micro switch that shows that the door is closed. The microwave must of had a factory spring in the latching system somewhere and either broke or got lost? If you want to fix your home appliances I would like to hear how and what you did to make the repairs and save money!
