Restore balanced, controlled oven door movement with this oven door spring. Replacing a worn or broken spring helps the door open and close smoothly and reduces sagging or sudden drops for safer, more reliable use. What it does:

• Provides counterbalance for the oven door hinge so the door opens and closes smoothly.
• Reduces door sagging, dropping, or closing too quickly caused by stretched or broken springs.
• Replaces the worn spring that can cause uneven or loose door movement.
• Helps restore proper door alignment and consistent hinge tension.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Springs are under tension—wear eye protection and gloves and use proper tools when removing/installing.
• Compare the new spring to the removed part to ensure correct orientation and fit before final installation.
• If the opposite door spring shows wear, replace both to maintain balanced door operation.
