Customer Questions and Answers for Door Spring by Frigidaire

This door spring provides the tension that counterbalances the appliance door, allowing smooth, controlled opening and closing. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring restores proper door action and helps prevent the door from dropping or slamming. What it does:

• Provides counterbalance tension for controlled door movement
• Works with the door hinge mechanism to support door weight
• Helps the door open evenly and close with appropriate force
• Common symptoms: door falls open too quickly, feels heavy, opens unevenly, or a broken/distorted spring is visible

• 1 door spring

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Support the door and carefully relieve spring tension before removal
• Springs are under tension—use gloves and eye protection
• If your model uses two springs, replace both for balanced tension
