Zusammenfassung:	An electronic door opening system (30) for an appliance is provided. The door opening system (30) includes a resilient member (32) having a pin (36) that moves in a linear direction to urge an appliance door (12) open. The door opening system (30) further includes a toothed gear member (50) configured to engage with the resilient member (32). The gear member (50) may be driven by a motor (56) to move the resilient member (32) to urge the door (12) from a closed position to an open position. Accordingly, upon receipt of a door opening command received from a user interface (20), the motor (56) drives the gear (50) to engage with the resilient member (32) and open the door (12). The door opening mechanism includes components that are free from contact with other systems of the appliance. For example, in a microwave oven (10), the door opening system (30) components may be free from contact with a door latch and an interlock switch system (80, 70).
