Common Symptoms
- Door does not close properly
- Door falls open or shuts too quickly
- Door feels loose after a spring failure
Check Before Replacing
- With power disconnected, inspect the microwave door for a broken, displaced, or visibly damaged right-side torsion spring.
- Check whether the door fails to remain properly supported or controlled during opening and closing.
- Verify the appliance has a stainless-steel door/model before ordering; non-stainless models may use different springs.
Pro Tip
For stainless-steel microwave doors using two torsion springs, inspect the left spring at the same time; the left and right springs use different part numbers.
