Parts for Electrolux FFMV1845VSA: Control Panel,Door Parts

This door latch spring restores proper latch tension so the refrigerator door closes and stays secure. It replaces a worn or broken spring to help the latch return reliably and maintain the door seal. What it does:

• Provides return tension for the door latch so the latch arm snaps back into place.
• Replaces a weak or broken spring that can cause the latch not to engage.
• Common symptoms it fixes: door won't stay closed, latch won't catch, rattling or intermittent sealing.
• Small, inexpensive part commonly used when latch action is sticky or loose.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and remove stored items from the door area.
• Replacement typically requires removing the latch assembly or cover and stretching the spring onto its mounting points; use pliers if needed and keep fingers clear of sharp edges.

This replacement latch secures the appliance's door or access panel so it stays closed and any safety interlocks can engage. Replacing a worn or broken latch restores positive closure and reliable operation.
