Amy R Curtice , OH November 15, 2018 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher GLDA690P01WW Ge Dishwasher Glda690p01ww: Dishwasher door spring broken. How to replace Door Hinge Spring. Ordered 2 new springs and simply replaced both since dishwasher is 9 years old. We put plates in the front secton and it was too heavy with the drawer pulled out. That’s what snapped the spring ?? Be careful when loading your dishwasher! Luckily the springs were less than $4 each. Ordered on Thursday and got them the next Monday. Very satisfied.
