Fix for issue with door closing mechanism on Panasonic microwave model NN-ST780S. I've been dealing with this microwave's problems for a while now, where it fails to detect when the door is shut. To address this, I designed and 3D-printed two custom parts in ABS that fit snugly between the plastic door frame and the metal frame of the microwave - check out the videos below for more details; they were printed in white. Before the fix: https://youtu.be/NzVg8lWqr7w After the fix: https://youtu.be/RAS0p6jsj7g To install these parts, I used a strong adhesive and replaced the original screws in the plastic door frame with longer ones that would securely fasten into the custom components.
