Answer

Lindo, Actually, you have a two piece door spring assembly 674744. The bent rod is installed in the opening of the frame on the side, the spring is slipped over the rod and one end is hooked into the "looped" opening of the rod, and is stretched and the other hook is inserted into the opening of the door trim panel. You may need to partially remove the dishwasher from the cabinet, to access the rod attachment area, and there is less tension on the spring when the door is closed and latched. Good Luck and Thanks
