Description

This replacement door tension spring restores proper door balance and closure on compatible Whirlpool appliances, helping the door stay aligned and close securely. It's a direct-fit repair part when the existing spring is worn or broken. What it does:

• Provides counterbalance tension so the appliance door opens and closes smoothly
• Prevents the door from sagging, sticking, or not staying fully closed
• Reduces excess strain on hinges and latch mechanisms caused by a weak spring
• Helps eliminate rattling or uneven door movement that can occur when springs fail

What's included:

• One replacement door tension spring

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and empty the appliance door area before starting any repair
• Use caution: springs are under tension—wear safety glasses and gloves
• Typical install requires basic hand tools; follow OEM diagram for correct routing and attachment
