The Torsion Spring is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is essential for maintaining the proper tension and operation of the refrigerator door. This spring ensures the door closes smoothly and stays securely shut, preventing cold air from escaping and maintaining the appliance’s efficiency.
Causes of a bad torsion spring can include metal fatigue from regular use, corrosion from exposure to moisture, or damage due to excessive force or mishandling. Over time, these factors can weaken the spring, affecting the door’s performance.
Symptoms of a bad Torsion Spring include:
- Door not staying closed
- Difficulty in opening or closing the door
- Door feels loose or unbalanced
- Unusual noises when operating the door
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
