Microwave door stuck closed in San Jose, CA
Issue description:
An unpleasant situation: you put food in the microwave, it warmed up normally, but you cannot get it: the microwave does not open because the door is locked. Or another problem: the door does not want to close or does not fit tightly.
Any problems with opening / closing the microwave door are reduced either to the problems of the lock and hinges of the door itself, or to a malfunction of the button for opening it. In principle, you can cope with such problems yourself if you manage to get the necessary spare parts, but it is easier to contact a professional specialist who has all the necessary parts and tools.
