Kenmore / Sears Cooktop Spring Parts

This door spring restores the counterbalance on a dishwasher door so it opens smoothly and doesn't drop. Replacing a worn or broken spring brings back controlled door movement and helps protect the hinges and linkages. What it does:

• Provides tension to counterbalance the dishwasher door for smooth, controlled opening and closing
• Helps prevent the door from slamming open or feeling excessively heavy
• Common failure signs include a door that drops suddenly, won't stay partially open, or makes snapping/spring noises
• Visual signs may include a stretched, broken, or missing spring

• 1 door spring

• Disconnect power; if working on a built-in dishwasher, also shut off water and support the door
• Springs are under tension—use eye protection and gloves, and release/attach carefully
• Access is typically behind the lower/toe panel; note original spring routing and hole positions before removal
• Inspect related door linkage/cords and hinge brackets; replace any worn components to maintain proper balance

The Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. This part provides the necessary tension to open and close the oven door smoothly. The spring ensures that the door stays securely shut during cooking and opens effortlessly when needed, contributing to the overall functionality and safety of the range.

Causes of a bad range door spring can include wear and tear over time, exposure to high temperatures, or damage from accidental impacts. 

Symptoms of a bad range door spring include:

• The oven door not staying closed
• Difficulty in opening or closing the door
• Uneven or incomplete sealing of the door
• A door that feels loose or unstable

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

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

• 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

• Prevents the element from sagging, touching the oven cavity, or rattling during use
• Helps maintain correct element clearance to reduce arcing and uneven cooking

• One spring element support

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
