A broken or weakened dishwasher door spring turns a routine unload into a hazard. When part 1D0001150 fails, the door drops hard when opened, slams against the floor, or refuses to hold position at any angle — putting stress on the door hinge, latch, and tub gasket with every cycle. This is a fast, low-cost repair that prevents expensive secondary damage to the door assembly.
Common Symptoms of a Failed Dishwasher Door Spring
- Dishwasher door drops suddenly when opened instead of lowering smoothly
- Door won’t stay open at a comfortable loading angle
- Loud bang or slam when the door is released
- Door feels unusually heavy or unbalanced on one side
- Visible broken or detached spring inside the door hinge area
- Door hinge or cable showing signs of wear from uneven tension
Part Details
- OEM Part Number: 1D0001150
- Type: Door Balance Spring / Tension Spring
- Sold: Individually — inspect both sides and replace in pairs if both show wear
- Function: Counterbalances the door weight via the hinge cable system to allow controlled, smooth door movement
- Note: Confirm your model number before ordering — spring tension and length vary by dishwasher configuration
💡 Pro Tip — Always Replace Both Springs at the Same Time:
Dishwasher door springs work as a matched pair — one on each side of the door hinge. If one has snapped or lost tension, the other is under the same age and fatigue stress and will likely fail within weeks. Replacing both now costs a few dollars more but saves a second service call and prevents the uneven tension that accelerates wear on the door cable and hinge arm.
