Dave July 16, 2015 for Model Number GMC275PDQ6 Thank you for your quick response, but I'm still in the dark about what to order. Are you implying that both torsion springs are the same or would I get 2 different springs in one package marked 4451008. I ask because the 2 springs on my microwave door are clearly different from one another (left and right). Please advise.

Jitu November 10, 2014 for Model Number KEMC378KSS01 Right Torsion Spring Broke. I want to replace both right and left springs but on your parts list only left side spring and number is shown. Is there a different spring for the right side or the left one will work for both sides? Thank you.
1 Answer Jitu, A few years ago, the manufacturer recommended that all microwave door torsion sprigs be replaced with the stainless steel door panel springs. The parts needed are WP4452395 left side spring, and WP4452396 left side spring. Your oven being a stainless steel model the listed springs should solve your issue. Read More...
Bassatl November 04, 2014 for Model Number KEMC377KBL0 Hello. One of the two torsion springs on my microwave door has broken.
