This replacement tension spring restores proper tension where the original spring has stretched, broken, or lost load. Use it to help doors, latches, or assemblies operate smoothly and return to their intended position. What it does:

• Provides restoring force to maintain proper tension in the related door, latch, or linkage.
• Replaces worn or broken springs that cause sagging, loose movement, or failure to stay closed.
• Helps eliminate excessive play or noisy operation related to a failed spring.
• Matches the original fit and function when the correct part number is used.

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before attempting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle under tension carefully; springs can release energy suddenly—wear eye protection and gloves.
• Inspect mating hardware (hooks, anchors, hinges) and replace if damaged to ensure proper performance.
