Description

This genuine OEM spring provides the tension needed for the appliance door to open and close smoothly and stay properly seated. It restores reliable door operation and reduces sagging or unlatched door issues. What it does:

• Applies tension to the door hinge/assembly so the door stays closed and aligns properly.
• Helps the door open and close smoothly without slamming or dragging.
• Reduces wandering, sagging, or a door that won't latch securely.
• Can eliminate popping or squeaking noises tied to a worn or stretched spring.

What's included:

• One replacement door-tension spring.

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Springs are under tension — use caution and appropriate tools/gloves to avoid injury.
• Inspect hinge/retainer hardware and replace any damaged clips or anchors during installation.
