This dishwasher door spring restores proper counterbalance so the door opens smoothly and doesn't drop. The premium version provides the factory-specified tension used on select models for consistent, controlled door movement.

  • Counterbalances the door for smooth opening and closing
  • Helps prevent the door from slamming open or feeling heavy
  • Supports stable, mid-position hold when springs are intact and matched
  • Common signs of failure: door drops quickly, is hard to lift, or won't stay in position
What's included: 1 door spring Installation notes:
  • Disconnect power and water; remove the toe kick/access panel to reach the springs
  • Note which frame/hinge holes the old spring used and install the new spring in the same positions to match tension
  • Use pliers to relieve tension safely; if your model uses two springs, replace both for balanced operation
  • Wear gloves and eye protection; keep hands clear of moving hinges

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Door Spring (Premium) (Part Number: OEM18024579)

1 Answer

Hello Betti. Look at the spring on the opposite side and see what hole it is in on the dishwasher frame and use the small hook side of the spring to connect to the dishwasher frame. Then the large hook goes on the bearing WP3373234 on the door hinge. If both springs 8274786 are off, you will need to move to the different holes in the frame until the door opens and closes properly. Hope this helps.
