Is This the Right Part?
Common Symptoms
- Door drops or flops open when unlatched
- Door is unusually heavy to open or close
- Door balance becomes poor after the spring breaks or fatigues
Check Before Replacing
- With power disconnected, visually inspect the spring and connected door-balance linkage for breakage or separation.
- Open the door cautiously and check whether it drops substantially faster or feels heavier than normal.
- Inspect both sides because the spring is sold individually and Whirlpool recommends replacing the left and right springs together.
