Description

Replacement door hinge tension spring that restores proper door balance and smooth opening and closing on compatible Bosch appliances. Replaces a worn or broken door spring to help prevent sagging and doors that won't stay open. What it does:

• Provides counter-tension for the door hinge so the door stays level and moves smoothly.
• Restores proper balance to doors that feel heavy, sag, or close too quickly.
• Works as the return/tension element inside the hinge assembly to control door travel.
• Common repair for door sag, uneven closing, or doors that don't remain open.

What's included: One (1) door spring. Install notes:

• Disconnect power (or unplug) and remove water supply if working on dishwashers; follow all safety steps before servicing.
• Spring is under tension—wear eye protection and gloves; release or install slowly and carefully.
• May require removing the door panel or hinge caps.
