Description

This flat spring restores proper tension and return action in the mechanism it supports. Replace a fatigued or broken spring to bring back crisp movement and keep linked parts aligned so the assembly operates smoothly.

• Applies return tension to a lever, cam, or latch so it moves back to its rest position
• Helps maintain alignment and engagement between mating parts during operation
• Can resolve weak or missing spring action, sticking controls, and inconsistent operation
• Replaces a worn, bent, or broken spring to restore designed feel

What's included: 1 flat spring. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; shut off water supply if applicable
• Note the spring's orientation and mounting points before removal
• Use needle-nose pliers for control; avoid overbending to prevent premature fatigue
• Confirm smooth return action before reassembly
