Greg W Tigard , OR August 06, 2016 Appliance: Maytag Dishwasher WU282 Maytag Dishwasher Wu282: The door spring broke on my maytag dishwasher model wu282. How to replace Door Spring. I ordered the door spring and it came in 4 days. I look at youtube videos that were close to the maytag dishwasher. Looked like I had to unhook things but when I took the lower panel off the spring was at the front and side and had room the put new one on. door balances good. the dishwasher is 28 years old and makes little louder noises, but will not replace it untill it quits. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
