Introducing the Interlock Spring from the trusted and reputable Whirlpool brand. This genuine OEM part is designed to work seamlessly with select models of Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef microwaves. The function of this part is critical, as it effectively resets the cam plate for the interlock switch each time you open the microwave door. However, due to the potential of high-voltage capacitors in your microwave retaining a dangerous electrical charge, even when unplugged, it is recommended to have this part installed by a qualified service technician. Kindly ensure to confirm that this interlock spring is the precise part appropriate for your appliance model before ordering. Trust in Whirlpool for high-quality, reliable appliance parts to keep your home running smoothly.

Installation Instructions

Mark from HOMER GLEN, IL

Door switch inconsistent operation for Open/Close sensing.

Ordered top & bottom micro-switches and mounting plate parts. Internet reviews could not find specifics if the issue was due to a top/bottom or combination of micro-switch or mounting plate failure. Pulled the plug. Removed the top vent assembly cover held in by 2 Phillips screws inside the vent. Removed the control panel held in by 1 Phillip screw at the top vent assembly area. Lifted control panel upward to release the catch and moved it off to the side - didn't disconnect any leads. Used a Torx bit to remove the door switch mounting plates at the front and pulled the plates through the opening from the control panel. Documented the wire color code connections, the top plate uses 2 micro's with one using both the closed & open contact. Installed the respective micros on the mounting plates and worked backwards with the wiring and removal steps. Once completed, the open/close sensing has worked every time. Read more...
