To minimize the possible leakage of microwave when one opens the door of a microwave oven during its operation, a structural design of the reinforcing brackets for the door frame is presented. Twisting deformation of the door frame resulting from a dynamic pulling force is analyzed by harmonic and transient response analyses. Several types of the reinforcing brackets weldable to the right flange of the door frame is taken into consideration, and their effects to the twisting deformation of the door frame are compared and evaluated. As a conclusion, a thick step-shaped bracket, which is welded to whole length of the right flange, is favorable.
