I am trying to find the part nbr to order one.

Thanks, but that was kinda hard since the only model number was inside, and i couldn't get it open. I have since had it fixed so this is no longer an issue.

I have the same problem where open button is not working and I do not feel that it is pressing on a spring to unlatch the door. Also, even in closed position, the MW won't heat up or turn; just the timer runs. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Al Originally Posted by: Gene Guys, In order to help you we need the complete model numbers of the microwaves. Gene.

Post the results. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL GT4175SPS0 | AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.
