Door difficult to pull open

Microwave door difficult to pull open. Is it a hinge problem or a latch problem?

Does it swing freely after it is open?

@sirjeff unless the door is loose and sagging after it is open, this is most likely a door latch issue. If you let us know what model your MW is we can check for more information.

I have a Kenmore Elite Microwave and it is hard to open due to the Sagging. The top round portion of the hinge pivoting on the round piece like a rivot is worn flat to the middle of the round piece on one side and has actually started to bend due to the weight of the door. I do not see a way to remove that piece from the upper portion of the door

I'm not sure but the whole door drops down about an eighth of an inch so I'm torn between hinges and latch do hinges drop so latch holds?door is hard to pull open
