Can the door of my Microwave Oven become loose over time?

There are several factors that may cause the door on your microwave oven to become loose over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential, as grease, oil, and food residue can build up around the door hinges and latches. This buildup may interfere with door alignment or cause the door to become loose.

Please refer to How to remove and clean the grease filters and your Operating Manual for model-specific care and cleaning instructions for your over-the-range microwave oven.

If you notice the door has become loose or appears misaligned, we recommend contacting Panasonic right away for support.
