Customer Questions and Answers for Door Spring by Whirlpool

This replacement door spring maintains proper tension so the door opens smoothly and doesn't drop. Replace a weakened or broken spring to restore controlled, balanced door movement and everyday usability. What it does:

• Provides tension to balance the door's weight during opening and closing
• Helps prevent the door from slamming open or falling unexpectedly
• Common fix for a door that feels heavy, drops open quickly, or won't hold a mid-position
• Replaces springs that are stretched, fatigued, or broken

• 1 door spring

• Disconnect power before servicing; springs are under tension—use gloves and eye protection
• Note the spring's routing and hook positions; take a photo before removal
• Use pliers to release and attach the spring carefully to avoid sudden release
• Some models use two springs; replace both for even tension if applicable
