Frigidaire Microwave 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

A replacement tension spring used to restore normal movement and positioning for the affected appliance component. Replaces a worn or broken spring to help parts return to their intended position and reduce loose or uneven operation. What it does:

• Provides tension or counter-force for a door, drawer or linkage so the part moves smoothly and returns to position.
• Restores alignment and prevents sagging, slamming, or parts that don't stay in place.
• Reduces noise and uneven movement caused by a stretched or broken spring.
• Useful when a worn spring causes intermittent operation or poor component response.

• Disconnect power and water before servicing. Wear eye protection and gloves — springs can release suddenly.
• Inspect mounting points, clips and anchors; replace any damaged hardware to ensure proper function.
• Use appropriate tools (needle-nose pliers, spring hook) and follow OEM instructions for safe installation.

This coiled tension spring restores proper tension and movement for the appliance component it supports, helping doors, lids or moving mechanisms operate smoothly and reliably after the original spring wears or breaks. What it does:

• Provides restoring tension to return and hold moving parts (doors, lids, levers) in their correct position.
• Replaces worn or broken springs that can cause sagging, failure to stay closed, or loose/rattling motion.
• Reduces squeaks or abnormal noise caused by a compromised spring.
• Restores predictable, even movement when installed in the original mounting orientation.

• Always disconnect power (and water/gas if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Use appropriate tools and wear eye protection; springs can store tension and may release suddenly.
• Note the spring's orientation and attachment points before removal so the replacement installs the same way.

This tension spring is a direct-fit replacement that restores proper mechanical tension for the appliance component it supports, helping doors, latches or assemblies operate smoothly and reliably. What it does:

• Provides tension to hold or return a moving part to its correct position
• Helps a door or latch close, stay engaged, or return to rest
• Reduces sagging, misalignment, or slack in the associated mechanism
• Can eliminate symptoms like a door not staying closed, a latch not engaging, or uneven movement

• Disconnect power and remove any stored items before starting work
• Use gloves and eye protection; springs can be under tension and may snap free
• Replace with the exact OEM spring to maintain proper fit and function
