How to Repair a Frigidaire Microwave Door Hinge

Before you can begin a cooking cycle on your Frigidaire microwave, the door must be completely shut. In fact, if the door latch isn't snapped shut, the microwave won't function at all. One way a microwave door can cease to function properly is if the hinges are loose or damaged. Tightening the hinges on your microwave door is a task you can perform yourself in a matter of minutes.

      Pop the hinge covers (if there are any) off the door hinges where the door meets the microwave. Do this with the tip of a small flat-head screwdriver.
