This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

This is a replacement tension/return spring used in appliance mechanisms to restore position and maintain proper tension for moving parts. Replacing a damaged spring helps restore smooth movement and consistent operation. What it does:

• Provides tension or return force for hinges, latches, or small moving assemblies
• Helps parts return to their resting position after operation
• Prevents slack or droop that can cause misalignment or rubbing
• Reduces rattling, binding, or uneven movement caused by a broken or stretched spring

• Installation requires basic hand tools and possibly partial disassembly of the affected assembly
• Disconnect power and/or gas and follow OEM safety instructions before servicing
• Handle small springs carefully — they can release suddenly; wear eye protection
