Whirlpool Door Spring Assembly with Retainer 675611 OEM Part

Whirlpool provides appliances under several brand names such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool supplies products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The dishwasher door spring assembly, specifically crafted for Whirlpool-manufactured dishwashers, comprises a spring, retainer, and protective tip. It is advisable to replace both springs at once to maintain even load distribution.

Identified by part number 675611, the door spring functions by exerting tension on the dishwasher door through the hinge. This mechanism controls the speed at which the door opens, preventing it from falling abruptly.

Installation requires careful handling since the spring is under tension and may release suddenly. For safety, it is recommended to wear work gloves to safeguard your hands during the replacement process.
