• Common failure signs include a door that drops suddenly, won't stay partially open, or makes snapping/spring noises

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.

• Supports proper interlock switch actuation so the unit will run only when the door is closed

• 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
