Door does not stay fully closed

After closing the microwave door, the inside light sometimes stays on, which means that the microwave does not start up. if you apply a little bit of pressure to the top right hand corner (where the mechanism is) the light goes off and the microwave starts.
However i don't want to kee doing this - is it teh seal or the mechanism which tells the microwave that the door is closed?
Thanks Glen

PS Actually its a H5972, not 5962 but this is all the drop down panel had which was closest

SOURCE: Microwave works with door open

If the top is open, the upper door switch should be open and the high voltage section should not be energized. That's the way it's *supposed* to work. But that buzzing is worrysome! Does the turntable turn during this condition? Does the inside light come on? How about the fan? If not, then I would doubt that it's cooking. If so, some models will do this. It's not uncommon to notice that the fan and light will try to come on for a split second when you shut the door. This would not indicate a problem. It has to do with the timing of the door switches and a replay on the board. If it's still under full warranty, it wouldn't hurt to call a GE-authorized servicer.

SOURCE: NEFF H5470NOGB Microwave door latch fault

theres a small plastic hook inside the door which holds a tension spring this will have snapped off stopping the latch from entering the lock its actually quite easy to fix the inner plastic frame can be unclipped with a small flat blade screwdriver exposing the hook mechanism and the spring will be lying in the bottom of the door frame you can reconnect it to the metal inner frame it stretches the spring a little more but it will never snap again ive done this loads of times with no probs otherwise you will have to replace the outer door to reinstate the broken hook.

SOURCE: Door will not close

is the little plastic pin sticking out from the inside of the door,if not it would need a door key fitted which is noit an easy job,if the door key there would probably have a problem with the switch kit.there is a pin which holds the door closed which can get snapped of .if this is the case the switch kit is about £70 - 90 AND IS not that easy to fit,if you have any more problems give me a text back

Why is light staying on and its making annoying humming sound?

The door switches are either faulty or not being depress when the door is closed, this usually means that the door and the cabinet are out of alignment

I have a Panasonic 1250w microwave and the door won't close and latch and when it does the light stays on then once you do finally shut it and press start, the timer starts but microwave does not turn on!...

Sounds like an alignment problem with the door itself and/or the interlock switches which operate as the door is opened/closed. Recommend a factory authorized service center. You don't want to take the chance of a leaky door.

Maytag microwave model mmv1153baw light won't shut off and won't start

Hi,

Either the latch in door (spring related) is not in the correct location or you have a door switch issue and its not expensive to fix if you husband is handy. Part number you can use is 28QBP0495 or the factory one 3405-001034 (more expensive). This issue is common and these switches are located inside the control panel on the left side, the switch you seek is the lowest one in the bracket of three. Good Luck and I hope this helps.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gere_bf68e6055dd61249

Inside Light stays on and the Start Button will not work at all!

You probably broke the door sensor switch.

The part must be tested before replacement.

Parts can be purchased from Partselect, Appliancespartspro, or Repairclinic. Have a look on google.

Won't whut off when open door

The microwave running with the door open can be dangerous.

It's most likely the switch in the door stuck in the closed position. Or it has failed/broken in the closed position.

Sometimes the switch is just a button sticking out of the cabinet where the door pushes on it when closed -- sometimes the door latch pushes on a switch inside the latch receiver in the cabinet.

If cleaning around that switch doesn't solve the problem, you should take it to a repair shop.
