Roper Range / Cooktop / Oven Spring Parts

This door spring restores the counterbalance on a dishwasher door so it opens smoothly and doesn't drop. Replacing a worn or broken spring brings back controlled door movement and helps protect the hinges and linkages. What it does:

• Provides tension to counterbalance the dishwasher door for smooth, controlled opening and closing
• Helps prevent the door from slamming open or feeling excessively heavy
• Common failure signs include a door that drops suddenly, won't stay partially open, or makes snapping/spring noises
• Visual signs may include a stretched, broken, or missing spring

• 1 door spring

• Disconnect power; if working on a built-in dishwasher, also shut off water and support the door
• Springs are under tension—use eye protection and gloves, and release/attach carefully
• Access is typically behind the lower/toe panel; note original spring routing and hole positions before removal
• Inspect related door linkage/cords and hinge brackets; replace any worn components to maintain proper balance

The Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. This part provides the necessary tension to open and close the oven door smoothly. The spring ensures that the door stays securely shut during cooking and opens effortlessly when needed, contributing to the overall functionality and safety of the range.

Causes of a bad range door spring can include wear and tear over time, exposure to high temperatures, or damage from accidental impacts. 

Symptoms of a bad range door spring include:

• The oven door not staying closed
• Difficulty in opening or closing the door
• Uneven or incomplete sealing of the door
• A door that feels loose or unstable

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This replacement tension spring restores proper tension where the original spring has stretched, broken, or lost load. Use it to help doors, latches, or assemblies operate smoothly and return to their intended position. What it does:

• Provides restoring force to maintain proper tension in the related door, latch, or linkage.
• Replaces worn or broken springs that cause sagging, loose movement, or failure to stay closed.
• Helps eliminate excessive play or noisy operation related to a failed spring.
• Matches the original fit and function when the correct part number is used.

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before attempting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle under tension carefully; springs can release energy suddenly—wear eye protection and gloves.
• Inspect mating hardware (hooks, anchors, hinges) and replace if damaged to ensure proper performance.
