This dishwasher door spring bushing—also called a door spring bearing—sits at the spring's frame anchor to provide a pivot and reduce wear. Replacing a worn bushing restores door balance and helps prevent the door from dropping or slamming open.
- Provides the pivot/anchor surface for the door spring at the cabinet frame
- Maintains balanced door opening and closing force
- Reduces friction, wear, and squeaks at the spring connection
What's included: Includes 1 bushing. Install notes:
- Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off water supply.
- Remove the toe panel and mounting screws; slide the dishwasher out slightly to access the door springs.
- Support the door, release spring tension, replace the bushing at the frame anchor, and reattach the spring.
- Inspect both sides and replace worn components in pairs to keep door tension even.
