Good quality but beware of lug thickness
I bought this set for a Samsung SMH1816S microwave oven. It has the exact set of 3 switches I needed - 2 normally open and 1 normally closed. I've previously replaced similar switches on the same oven with a different seller/brand and it was fine. This time, I came across a problem I had not seen before; nor have I seen this problem on other similar switches used in other situations. The problem is that the male contact lugs for these switches are thicker than the corresponding female lugs in the Samsung wire harness. For one switch, it took a little extra force to push the wire harness onto the lug. But for the others, it didn't work and I wasn't willing to force the harness any harder for fear of damaging/breaking the plastic parts holding the switch in place. Comparing the new and old switches, the difference in thickness is visible to the naked eye. Judging by other reviews, this problem isn't universal but it sure is a problem on my Samsung unit. Since only 1 of the 2 N.O. switches was broken, I was able to move a good one switch to replace the bad one and install a new one in the spot that took a little more persuasion. So overall, good value and well made, but not good on the installation. Buyer beware.

Works great
These worked great. (I am a woman) and I installed them myself with ease. We have had a microwave for 10 years that was given to us. One day the timer timed down, beeped and shut off like it was supposed to, opened the door and the microwave turned on and started cooking again.... Thought that was freaking weird. Told my husband, he said that's not right and told me to start looking for a new microwave. I googled what it was doing and a YouTube video popped up. Watched the video on what it was and how to fix it. Bought these relay things. Whole time husband telling me it was a waste of time. Popped everything in (yes I used a volt meter to be able to tell which was which) put it back together and ta-da! Fixed. So we now have a $10 microwave instead of a new $400 or whatever they cost microwave!! Now I have to keep the microwave forever out of spite lol ;)

Works great on Frigidaire Microwave FFMV1645TS
These switches work great on my Frigidaire Microwave FFMV1645TS. When you replace the switches, remember: the switch with a little RED button will go on the middle position. The other two swiches will go one on the top, and one on the bottom. Good luck!

Please Understand How These Switches Work First
These door switches work in a certain sequence.Do some quick research online before you attempt to replace them in your microwave.Typically, the middle door switch works in reverse of the top & bottom switches. There are usually 3 in your typical microwave.Not all microwaves have switches that are easy to swap out & replace.My Sharp Carrousel switches were hard to remove.These switches did the job though. Made well, worked well, at a fair price.

Nice!
Time will tell. I am just super pumped to have repaired my microwave myself! (Know what a capacitor is before you try that for yourself)

Fixed my kenmore microwave from 2014
Slamming the door too hard does have repercussions, ask me how I know! I had one bad door switch so I replaced all three. $9 later I can nuke my food again.

Good Spares to Have in a Pinch
OEM is always the way to go but I got these for delivery time. Do not go cheap with high voltage appliances though- if in doubt, get OEM from an appliance parts dealer. For these switches, I'm lead to believe that they're all the same but beware this practice on higher end parts. I'd buy again. 4 of 5 since they're Chinese parts

Fixed my Samsung Microwave
My Samsung microwave was blowing fuses when the door opened. One of the NO switches failed. This had all three door switches so I swapped them all. They fit in the spots from the OEM switches and the microwave works again. Two torx screws to remove the assembly and the switches just pop in and out. Much cheaper than a new microwave.

Exactly what I need
My Panasonic microwave didn't work anymore after 2 years of usage -- each time, I open the door, it would overload the circuit and the circuit breaker would trip. Turned out, one of the door switch (totally 3) is broken (the little black button on the switch can't jump back on the position). Ordered this product, fast delivery, once installed, it instantly solved the issue. Make sure you replace with the right type, either NC (normal close) or NO (normal open) which is indicated on the switch clearly. Happy for the purchase, otherwise I would have to buy a new microwave.

Good Replacement switches
This deals with Panasonic NN-SG656W microwave (6 yrs old). I think one of the 3 switches was sticky and blew the fuse within. After cover removal, there's printed recommendation that if the fuse blows, to replace all 3 switches. Also prior, we notice the door not easily releasing, indicating the cams & levers for the switches may not be syncronized. Used an auto 20 Amp fuse until the ceramic shielded fuse and the 3 switches arrive. Meanwhile the microwave worked fine. The new switches arrived in half of the estimated 12 days. They are duplicates to the original. They were easy to install. It's been 9 days since replacement and the microwave is working well and the door opens smoothly.

Bad quality switches
I bought new switches because my old ones were causing my microwave fuse to blow. I installed these new switches, put my microwave back together and the microwave fuse blew again. One of the switches had stopped working right away after it was installed. I had to take everything apart again and install another new switch and another new fuse. Waste of time and money.

Still working
About a year after I changed the switches on my Samsung over-the-range microwave, it is still working good. The installation was o.k, nothing too difficult, but take a picture of the assembly as you go along. Plus, the switches are not all the same, so make sure you put them in the right place.
