Customer Questions and Answers for Lid Hinge Spring Assembly (Right) by Whirlpool

Replacement right-side lid hinge spring assembly that restores proper lid support and controlled opening/closing on compatible top-load washers. Helps prevent the lid from dropping or slamming so the washer is safer and easier to use. What it does:

• Supports and controls the lid as it opens and closes to prevent sudden drops or hard slams.
• Keeps the lid aligned and stable during loading and unloading.
• Reduces wear on the lid and cabinet by providing consistent tension.
• Common symptom: lid won't stay open, falls shut, or feels loose at the hinge.

• Disconnect power to the washer before starting any work; for top-load washers also remove water hoses only if they interfere with access.
• Spring assemblies are under tension—wear safety glasses and use care when removing/installing to avoid injury.
• Use basic hand tools and follow the appliance's service manual.
