Description

This handle spring restores tension to the door latch handle so the dishwasher door latches securely and the handle returns to position. Replace a worn or broken spring to address loose handle feel or doors that pop open during a cycle. What it does:

• Provides return tension for the door latch/handle mechanism
• Helps keep the door closed and latched during operation
• Restores proper handle feel and return action
• Common symptoms include a loose or floppy handle, door not latching or starting, or door opening mid-cycle

What's included:

• 1 spring

Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off water before servicing
• Remove inner door panel screws to access the latch area; support the outer panel
• Note spring orientation and attachment points before removal; transfer the new spring to the same tabs/holes
• If your latch uses two springs, replace both for even tension; test latch operation before reassembly
