Description

This replacement spring restores the correct tension in the mechanism it supports so parts move smoothly and return to position as designed. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring helps eliminate slack and prevents accelerated wear on connected components. What it does:

• Provides the return/tension force for the linked assembly
• Helps components travel smoothly and hold their intended position
• A stretched or broken spring can cause sluggish movement, sagging, or failure to return
• Contribute to squeaking, rattling, or snap-back noises during operation

What's included:

• 1 spring

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Note original routing and anchor points; take a reference photo before removal
• Use pliers to control the spring during removal/installation; avoid overstretching
• Inspect anchors, cables, and pivots for wear and replace any damaged parts
