Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Spring Parts

This door spring provides the tension that counterbalances the appliance door, allowing smooth, controlled opening and closing. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring restores proper door action and helps prevent the door from dropping or slamming. What it does:

• Provides counterbalance tension for controlled door movement
• Works with the door hinge mechanism to support door weight
• Helps the door open evenly and close with appropriate force
• Common symptoms: door falls open too quickly, feels heavy, opens unevenly, or a broken/distorted spring is visible

• 1 door spring

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Support the door and carefully relieve spring tension before removal
• Springs are under tension—use gloves and eye protection
• If your model uses two springs, replace both for balanced tension

Door spring that restores proper tension for the appliance door, helping it open and close smoothly and hold position. Fits as a direct replacement for worn or broken springs to improve door operation and reduce slamming. What it does:

• Provides tension to the door so it opens and closes with controlled motion
• Helps the door stay in the desired position instead of falling open or slamming shut
• Commonly replaced when the door feels loose, drops suddenly, or doesn't latch properly
• Simple replacement can restore normal door function without replacing larger assemblies

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work and follow basic electrical safety
• Springs are under tension—support the door and use appropriate tools and eye/hand protection

• Helps keep mechanisms aligned and operating smoothly
• Replaces stretched, broken, or missing springs that cause poor operation
• Common symptoms: part won't return or stay in place, weak/sluggish action, rattling or rubbing noises

• 1 spring

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water or gas if applicable
• Note the original spring routing and orientation; take a quick photo before removal
• Control spring tension during removal/installation to avoid snapback; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection
• Use suitable pliers/spring tool and inspect adjacent brackets or links for wear while reassembling

This spring kit replaces worn or broken return springs in the applicable assembly, restoring proper tension and smooth movement so the mechanism operates reliably throughout the cycle and returns to its proper position. What it does:

• Provides the correct tension to move or hold parts in place
• Helps resolve weak return action, sticking, failure to engage/latch, or sagging components
• Can reduce noise caused by loose or fatigued springs
• Maintains consistent operation throughout the appliance's cycle

• Manufacturer-supplied spring kit

For Whirlpool made dishwashers. Assembly includes one spring, one retainer and one protective tip. Replace both springs at the same time to prevent uneven load.

This door spring counterbalances the door so it opens smoothly and doesn't drop. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring restores proper door feel and helps protect hinges and related components from excess strain.

• Provides the tension that balances the door during opening and closing
• Helps prevent the door from slamming or falling open too quickly
• Replaces a stretched, weakened, or broken spring
• Common signs: door feels heavy, drops quickly, or sits unevenly side-to-side

• Disconnect power before servicing; for dishwashers, also shut off the water supply
• Support the door and carefully relieve spring tension before removal
• Install the new spring in the same attachment points/orientation as the original
• Replace both together to maintain even tension

This replacement spring provides the tension and return force needed for proper movement of a spring-loaded appliance component. Use it to restore smoother operation and consistent positioning where the original spring has worn or lost tension. What it does:

• Supplies tension and return force for hinges, latches or other spring-loaded mechanisms
• Helps restore proper movement and alignment of parts that sag, stick, or won't return to position
• Prevents excess play or slippage in spring-loaded assemblies when functioning correctly
• Works as a direct-fit replacement when the original spring is worn, stretched, or broken

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection; springs may be under tension and can release suddenly
• Compare the old spring to the new one for length, coil count and end type before installation

For belt driven models

Kit includes spring bearings and 2 springs.
