Whirlpool 461968971522 Microwave Interlock Latch – Genuine OEM Replacement Part

The Whirlpool 461968971522 Microwave Interlock Latch is a genuine OEM replacement part designed to ensure the safe operation of your microwave. Available through Appliance Kingdom, this high-quality component restores proper door closure and electrical interlock functionality. It is compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Amana microwave models. Always check your microwave model number to ensure full compatibility before ordering.

Function & Importance

The interlock latch is a critical safety component of any microwave oven. Its main function is to prevent the microwave from operating when the door is open. When you close the microwave door, the latch engages the interlock switches, allowing electricity to safely power the magnetron and other internal components. A properly functioning latch ensures safe cooking, prevents accidental exposure to microwaves, and guarantees the appliance operates efficiently.

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement

Your microwave may need a new 461968971522 interlock latch if you notice:

  • Microwave does not start when the door is closed

  • Microwave stops mid-cycle or operates intermittently

  • Door feels loose, wobbly, or difficult to close

  • Sparks or unusual noises when trying to start the microwave

  • Visible damage or broken latch components

Replacing a faulty interlock latch restores safe and reliable operation, preventing potential electrical hazards and appliance damage.

Key Features & Benefits
