# How to Fix a Door on a Frigidaire Microwave PLMV169DCD
The door on your Frigidaire PLMV-series microwave is one of the most important parts of the unit. The door needs to be shut for the microwave to operate. The internal door latch is the component that secures the door. If the latch is damaged, the microwave likely won't work at all, because the door won't shut properly. You can open a microwave door and fix it yourself.
