What the repair involves
A quick repair from the front of the cabinet.
Why it fails
Switches and catches are small plastic parts that wear from thousands of door closings, especially when the door is slammed or leaned on.
How to make it last
Close the door gently and don't use it as a shelf for laundry baskets.
