- Oven door slams shut when released — won’t stay open
- Door drops suddenly or falls closed mid-position
- Door feels loose, unbalanced, or heavier than normal on one side
- Door closes too quickly or too slowly
- Door difficult to open or requires extra force to lift

- Part Number: WB9K5
- Brand: GE (OEM)
- Type: Oven Door Spring
- Material: Heavy-duty steel
- Function: Provides door counterbalance tension for safe, smooth operation
- Compatible Appliance: GE ovens and ranges
- Condition: New OEM
- ⚠️ Safety first: Oven door springs are under high tension — wear safety glasses and work gloves throughout this repair. A spring under tension can snap back with significant force
- Disconnect power to the oven at the breaker before starting
- Remove the oven door by opening it fully and lifting it off the hinges — have a second person assist, as oven doors are heavy
- Carefully release tension from the old spring before removing it from the mounting brackets
- Install the new WB9K5 spring in the same position and orientation as the original
- Reinstall the door, restore power, and test the door through its full range of motion before use
- If you are not comfortable working with tensioned springs, contact a professional technician
💡 Pro Tip — Replace Both Springs at the Same Time:
Oven door springs are sold individually, but they wear at the same rate — if one has broken or lost tension, the other is close behind. Replacing only the failed spring leaves the door unevenly balanced, which puts asymmetric stress on the new spring and accelerates its failure. Order two WB9K5 springs and replace both while the door is already off the oven. The labour is identical and the second spring costs a fraction of a repeat service call. Also inspect the door hinge arms for bending or wear while the door is removed — a bent hinge causes the same slamming symptoms and will not be fixed by a new spring alone.
