Electrolux Range / Cooktop / Oven Spring Parts

This door latch spring restores the return tension in your microwave's door release mechanism so the latch engages and releases correctly. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring helps ensure safe door operation and reliable interlock switch activation.

• Provides the return force for the latch lever/door release button
• Helps door hooks engage fully and release smoothly
• Supports proper interlock switch actuation so the unit will run only when the door is closed
• Typical failure signs: door won't latch, "open/close door" error, door button sticks, or needing to hold the door shut to start

• Disconnect power. Microwaves can retain dangerous high voltage even when unplugged; discharge the capacitor
• Access the latch assembly behind the control panel; note the spring's orientation and attachment points
• Use needle-nose pliers to install without overstretching; inspect the latch lever and door hooks for wear
• Verify proper door closure and interlock switch operation before reassembly

This replacement tension spring restores proper tension to the appliance's moving mechanism so doors, latches or linkages operate smoothly and reliably. It's a simple wearable part that helps fix sagging or loose motion. What it does:

• Provides tension for a door, latch or linkage to return to the correct position
• Helps stop door sag, uneven closing or loose movement
• Eliminates slack that can cause rattling or noisy operation
• Restores proper alignment so mechanical interlocks engage

• One tension spring

• Disconnect power and/or supply (unplug or shut off circuit) before starting
• Release stored tension carefully—use proper tools and eye protection
• Inspect mating parts (pins, clips, brackets) and replace if worn

This replacement tension spring helps restore proper door movement and balance on compatible refrigerators. It provides controlled counterbalance so the door opens and closes smoothly and stays in the intended position. What it does:

• Applies tension to the door hinge or counterbalance mechanism to control opening and closing
• Reduces door slamming and helps the door remain open or closed as designed
• Restores proper alignment and balance when an old or damaged spring fails
• Commonly replaced when the door feels heavy, drops open, or won't stay in position

• One tension spring as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid injury
• Use basic hand tools; some installations require removing the door or hinge cover to access the spring
• Springs are under tension—wear eye protection and follow safe handling procedures

This replacement spring provides the tension needed for proper hinge or latch movement, restoring smooth opening and closing and helping components stay in position. Use it to replace worn or broken springs that no longer hold tension. What it does:

• Restores tension for hinge, latch, or return mechanisms so doors, drawers or assemblies operate smoothly
• Replaces broken, stretched, or missing springs that cause sagging, slamming, or improper closure
• Reduces noise and improves alignment when the original spring has lost tension
• Works as the original-style spring to return moving parts to their correct position

• One replacement spring

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove any panels or trim needed to access the spring and note the orientation before removal
• Handle under-tension springs carefully; use appropriate tools and eye protection
• Consider replacing matched components to ensure proper operation
