I have a 3 year old Whirlpool Gold counter top microwave. The button to open the door is not working. I heard what I thought was a spring break. Can this be replaced?

I have the same problem on my 2 year old Whirlpool Gold Microwave, the part that breaks is a white plastic pined cam that rotates up to engauge the door locks. the right side pin broke on mine, seems whilpool didn't design a tougher part, by the looks of the small pin area where all the pressure is exerted, they will almost surely break again. I am trying to find the part nbr to order one.

Gene. Thanks, but that was kinda hard since the only model number was inside, and i couldn't get it open. I have since had it fixed so this is no longer an issue.

Hi Gene, The model no. of my Whirlpool Gold MW is gt4175sps-0. I have the same problem where open button is not working and I do not feel that it is pressing on a spring to unlatch the door. Also, even in closed position, the MW won't heat up or turn; just the timer runs. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Al Originally Posted by: Gene Guys,

Thank you Gene. It is indeed the Bracket Latch that is broken. I will order the part and put it in.
Thanks again for your help.
