Thank you for this. I had a problem with the switches not recognizing the door being closed every time. I tried triggering them manually, which led to me having to get into the microwave to flip them back. In doing so, I blew the fuse. (Found an article about this, always unplug the microwave if you are going to flip those switches. They are designed to blow the fuse if both are not activated correctly). Also found out that the builder's electrician didn't label the breaker correctly, and had the microwave labeled wrong. So much fun. But at the end of it all, it was a blown fuse (tested continuity on it).
Hey same thing I did just now! I was able to spring the switches back into place with small picks/hooks without tearing the unit apart. Did your problem go away? The part of the door not recognizing being closed?
Thanks. My Whirlpool had one door switch that was stuck/jammed and caused fuse to blow. It seems this is pretty common across multiple brands and models. When looking for switches, there are "normally closed" (NC), "normally open" (NO), and/or maybe a monitor. Different models have different numbers of switches. For Whirlpool, look for part numbers/models on existing switches like SZM-V16-FC-62 (NC) and SCM-V16-FC-63 (NO).
Exact same situation as I'm in. Breaker blew and killed the power to my stove and microwave, which are the same as yours except they're black. Hopefully a fuse is all it needs, thanks for the video

Once I got the new fuse and flipped the breaker back on, it worked.
