This small spring is used in the dishwasher detergent dispenser assembly to control the opening action of the detergent cup door. It provides the tension needed for the cup door to pop open at the correct time during the wash cycle to release detergent. Replace this spring if the detergent cup fails to open during a cycle, the door pops open prematurely, or you find undissolved detergent remaining in the dispenser after a wash.
