Whirlpool Spring Parts

A direct-replacement door counterbalance spring that helps your appliance door open and close smoothly and stay properly aligned. Restores proper door tension to prevent sagging, uneven closing, and decreased seal contact. What it does

• Counterbalances door weight so the door opens and closes with correct tension
• Helps doors remain level and prevents sagging or dropping during use
• Reduces strain on hinges and latch components for more reliable closing
• Resolves symptoms like a door that falls shut, won't stay open, or feels heavy/uneven when moved

• One door spring

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) and follow all safety procedures before starting
• Use hand protection and eye protection; springs can release with force
• Inspect hinge and mounting hardware for wear; replace damaged components as needed
• Refer to the appliance's service manual or OEM diagram for correct orientation and routing during installation

This dishwasher door spring provides the counterbalance tension that lets the door open and close smoothly. Replacing a worn or broken spring restores proper door feel and helps prevent the door from dropping unexpectedly.

• Provides counterbalance tension so the door opens and closes smoothly
• Helps the door stay partially open without drifting
• Reduces slamming or sudden drop when opening
• Common failure signs: door feels heavy, drops quickly, opens unevenly, or a spring is visibly broken

• Disconnect power and shut off water; remove the toe-kick/access panel
• Support the door; note spring routing and which frame holes are used before removal
• Install the new spring in the same holes; adjust hole selection only per service information to fine-tune tension
• Springs are under tension—wear gloves/eye protection; consider replacing both springs together for balanced operation

Kit includes spring bearings and 2 springs.
