Where is microwave door switch

That is easy to find it!

Firstly, the door switch is a micro switch to control the current in the machine to make sure the door is closed before you switch on the circuit. But how to find the door switch in a microwave? Let’s go to find it.

We can see from the picture, the switch is on the right side of the machine.

You can’t see the microwave oven door switches unless you take off the control panel. When it is taken off, we can see the micro switch, there are 2 pieces of microswitches behind the oven frame. Such as the following picture.

It is really easy, right? However, we not only need to know where it is, but we need to know how to replace it.

So we need to understand what kinds of micro switch is behind the microwave. In fact, the different microwave ovens have different requirements for switches. For example, the micro switch in the picture is the G5T16 series, C1 terminal and SPST normally closed design, which is so important to decide if you can replace successfully or not.

What’s more, the temperature, electric current, voltage, and operation force is also what you need to confirm. However, if you are not so sure about the parameter, you can ask the microswitch supplier to confirm. Our Linkedin

Please contact us and tell us your requirement, such as the current and voltage in your application,  quantity, and so on. And then we will send you the datasheet for confirmation, and then we will send the quotation and confirm the order. So that you can buy the suitable microwave door switches for your project.
