Parts for Kenmore 721.69073900 (72169073900, 721 69073900): Control Panel Parts

This replacement spring provides controlled tension for a moving mechanism in your appliance. It helps doors, lids, or linkages operate smoothly and stay balanced, reducing slamming, sagging, and inconsistent movement.

• Applies calibrated tension so the mechanism returns to position and remains balanced
• Restores smooth open/close action
• Common failure signs include a door or lid that feels heavy/light, drops open, or won't hold position
• Also addresses squeaks, creaks, or snapping sounds near the hinge or linkage

• Disconnect power; if the appliance is water-connected, turn off the water supply
• Springs store energy—use caution, gloves, and eye protection
• Note original hook locations and orientation; reinstall to the same attachment points
• If your appliance uses two matching springs, replace both to maintain balance
