The Door Spring is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It assists in balancing and supporting the door during opening and closing motions.

  • Doors that slam shut too forcefully or rapidly
  • Difficulty smoothly opening or closing the door  
  • An imbalanced feeling when lifting or lowering the door

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper built-in dishwashers.

Answer
