# How to Repair a KitchenAid Microwave Hinge
The door on your KitchenAid microwave is secured via two hinges on the left side of the door. If these hinges become loose or damaged, it can prevent you from properly shutting to door -- which prevents you from using the microwave. Much like on a regular door, you can tighten the hinge on a microwave door with the appropriate tools.
