Hello David, First, you will need to make sure you have the correct springs. There are two "series" of this model. If your serial number begins with 17 or lower, the correct door hinges are 74001856. If the serial number begins with 18 or higher you will need 74004059. Remove the door by opening it to the broil position and lifting it up off of the hinges. To replace the hinges, the unit will need to be pulled out 6 to 10 inches. You will then remove the screws from the front that retain the hinges and pull them out from the side. Reassembly is in the reverse order.

Hello Elizabeth! Yes, there are springs on both sides. However, the springs are not available separate from the door hinge, WPW10202401. Unfortunately, this item has been discontinued with no further replacements or cross references available and our company is unaware of any other available sources. Sorry about that!
