Dishwasher Door Spring
You can buy this component on its own. Whirlpool produces this specific door spring (part number WP4162629) for a range of brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also manufactures appliances for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
The WP4162629 door spring collaborates with the door hinge to manage the descent of the dishwasher door when being opened.
Please proceed with care during installation, as the tension in the spring may cause it to snap. Wearing work gloves is recommended to protect your hands during this task.
