5. Install New Button: Align the new button with the opening in the microwave's control panel. Gently push the button into position until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the button is oriented correctly (there may be an "up" side).
6. Test Functionality: Once installed, plug the microwave back into the power outlet. Press the new button to confirm that the microwave door opens smoothly and consistently.

  • Ensure the original spring was correctly placed on the center peg of the new button during installation.
  • Check that the button is fully seated and clicked into its position within the control panel.
  • Verify that the button is not obstructed by any debris or misaligned components.
