Description

This duct door spring secures and returns the exhaust/vent door so airflow opens and closes properly, helping maintain correct ventilation. Replaces a worn or broken spring to restore normal vent operation and reduce drafts. What it does

• Provides tension to the exhaust/duct door so it opens when ventilation starts and closes when idle.
• Restores proper airflow control when the vent door fails to stay open.
• Helps prevent backdrafts and reduces unwanted air exchange when the appliance is off.
• Common symptom: vent/duct door hangs open, won't latch, or won't return to closed position.

What's included

• One duct door spring

Install notes

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access may require removing the vent/duct door assembly or outer access panel; keep track of fasteners.
• Use caution when handling springs — they may be under tension; wear eye protection and gloves.
