Default Contoure Microwave Door Latch



-------------------------------------

I have a Contoure Microwave that the door when closed will not open with
the pushin lever. After I jiggle the door it opens. I have removed the
enclosure and found that the lifting mechanism will not lift the top hook
high enough to pass the lock. I cannot bend down the lock because of the
plastic micro-switch is right up against the lock. Any suggestions would
be greatly appreciated.

The Stucco site is not a help forum, it's an
*advertising* forum that invades real forums
(like "alt.home.repair", part of "usenet")
parasitically in order to generate free
advertising for itself, which continually
advances its search engine placement, thereby
increasing its own revenue through its click-
through advertising commissions.

So the first thing you should do is write them
an email and tell them to go **** themselves.

Then try to find your way here through proper
channels. Please do a google search on "Usenet"
and post the regular way.

Default Contoure Microwave Door Latch

On my personal microwave, the lower hinge settled a bit. I
have learned to push the open button, and with the other
couple fingers, pull out on the bottom of the door. I fixed
a similar problem for some friends, by pushing a wire around
the bottom of the lower hinge, to raise up the door. It was
a one of a kind fix, and I doubt I could describe it here,
with any accuracy.

I sense you'll be fine.

Very likely, the lower hinge has a flat nylon washer that
compressed, and the door is dragging along the bottom edge
of the latch. You may have to dissemble the unit, and put a
spacer washer under the door, at the lower hinge.

Default Contoure Microwave Door Latch (and copied text)

Oh, I'm sorry. I did rewrite it a bit. If it's not different
enough from your text, I'll change it some more.

As to the Jesus Clip, maybe an E-clip would help space the
door up a bit. If that's the problem, that is.
