Hello James, You will most likely have to replace the lid hinges, (left WPW10141682 and right WPW10141681), since they contain the springs. You should first make sure the hinge screws are all tight and none are missing.

Jay, here's some help: Unplug washer or disconnect power. To remove the lid: a) Raise the lid and remove the two hinge pin screws from both sides. b) Lift the lid, slide it off the hinge pins, and remove the lid from the washer. Pull the hinge pin out of the hinge you are removing. Reverse the procedure and check the washer and lid for operation.

Edward, To replace the hinge pin, to remove the hinges you will have to lift the main top. To do so you would push in on the spring clips that are in between the front panel and main top. Remove the screws from the hinge and install new hinges.
