Description

The Microwave Door Torsion Spring is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool microwaves. As a crucial closure component, it works to securely close and maintain a firm seal on the microwave door.

Causes of a bad torsion spring can include wear from opening the door repeatedly, stress fractures from over-tightening brackets, or damage inhibiting proper closure tension.

Symptoms of a bad torsion spring include:

• The door not closing or sealing fully
• Uneven pressure allows leaks around the perimeter
• Unable to maintain a locked position during cooking

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore microwave models.
