Lg Dishwasher Spring Parts

The Hinge Spring is an OEM part for LG dishwashers. This spring works with the door hinge to provide the necessary tension for smooth opening and closing of the dishwasher door, ensuring it stays securely in place when opened or closed.

Over time, the hinge spring can become worn out or break due to regular use, metal fatigue, or accidental impacts. Causes of a bad hinge spring include excessive wear, rust or corrosion, and physical damage from forceful door operation.

Symptoms of a bad hinge spring include:

• The dishwasher door dropping suddenly or not staying in the open position
• Difficulty in opening or closing the door smoothly
• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or popping, when operating the door
• The door feeling loose or unbalanced

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

This door hinge spring counterbalances the dishwasher door so it opens smoothly and stays where you set it. Replace a weakened or broken spring to restore proper door tension and prevent the door from dropping or slamming.

• Provides the tension that counterbalances the door through the hinge mechanism
• Helps the door open/close smoothly and remain at a desired angle
• If failed, symptoms include the door dropping quickly, feeling heavy, uneven side-to-side movement, or a loud snap when opening

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Support the door and remove the toe-kick/access panel to reach the hinge area
• The spring is under tension—use gloves/eye protection and carefully relieve tension from the hinge hook
• Install the new spring in the same mounting holes/positions; check door balance (many techs replace springs in pairs for even tension)
