Function & Importance

The microwave door interlock spring plays an essential role in the door latch and interlock system. Its primary function is to maintain proper tension on the door latch assembly, allowing the interlock switches to engage correctly when the door is closed. This mechanism ensures that the microwave operates only when the door is securely shut, protecting users from microwave radiation exposure.

If the interlock spring becomes weak, stretched, or broken, the door may not close properly, preventing the microwave from starting or causing it to stop unexpectedly. A properly functioning microwave door interlock spring is vital for both safety and consistent appliance performance.

You may need to replace the W10156812 door interlock spring if you experience:

• Microwave will not start even when the door is closed

• Door feels loose or does not latch firmly

• Microwave shuts off when the door is lightly touched

• Interlock switches not engaging properly

These symptoms indicate a compromised microwave door safety system and should be addressed immediately.
