• Helps prevent the door from slamming open or feeling excessively heavy
• Common failure signs include a door that drops suddenly, won't stay partially open, or makes snapping/spring noises
• Visual signs may include a stretched, broken, or missing spring

• 1 door spring

• Disconnect power; if working on a built-in dishwasher, also shut off water and support the door
• Springs are under tension—use eye protection and gloves, and release/attach carefully

Symptoms of a bad range door spring include:

• The oven door not staying closed
• Difficulty in opening or closing the door
• Uneven or incomplete sealing of the door
• A door that feels loose or unstable

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
