This dishwasher door spring provides the counterbalance tension that lets the door open and close smoothly. Replacing a worn or broken spring restores proper door feel and helps prevent the door from dropping unexpectedly.
- Provides counterbalance tension so the door opens and closes smoothly
- Helps the door stay partially open without drifting
- Reduces slamming or sudden drop when opening
- Common failure signs: door feels heavy, drops quickly, opens unevenly, or a spring is visibly broken

- Disconnect power and shut off water; remove the toe-kick/access panel
- Support the door; note spring routing and which frame holes are used before removal
- Install the new spring in the same holes; adjust hole selection only per service information to fine-tune tension
