Soap Lid Spring

Di for Model Number DU940QWDQ0

Answer Hello DI. If you're not sure which way the spring goes, remember that the spring should compress (coil) when the detergent door is closed, and uncoil when it snaps open. What I finally figured out to reassemble, that worked: 1) Put the spring and pin on the detergent door, with the spring 8066018 coiled so the top side of the coils point back (toward the detergent cup) 2) Snap the pin back into its slots, with the spring's square center tab toward the matching base in the dishwasher door 3) GENTLY lift one side of the pin up again, so you have room to use a small screwdriver to push the free end of the spring into the detergent lid, then press the pin back in 4) Repeat (3) with the other side of the pin, and the other end of the spring. (Sorry if this isn't clear without pictures, I don't have any.) Hope this helps.

Answer Paul, First, you need to be cautious, don't break or damage anything. With the detergent cup lid in the full open position, and a pair of needle nose pliers or small flat blade screwdriver, slide the pin to one side, to remove the other end from the tab on the door liner, and slide the door,pin and spring, off the door assembly. reverse the procedure to install the assembly. Good Luck.
