Description

This replacement axle/latch spring secures the latch/axle assembly so the appliance door or panel stays engaged during use. It restores proper latch tension for reliable closing and operation. What it does:

• Applies tension to the latch/axle so the door or access panel stays closed and latched
• Helps ensure the appliance detects a closed door and will start or run normally
• Common symptom: door won't stay closed or latch feels loose or fails to engage
• Small metal spring designed for a specific latch assembly — not a universal part

What's included: One axle/latch spring Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access may require removing a panel, bezel, or door — use proper tools and keep fasteners organized
• Handle the spring and latch components carefully; springs are under tension and can snap free
