Whirlpool WP8270020 Genuine OEM Dishwasher Door Spring

The Dishwasher Door Spring applies tension to the dishwasher door through the door hinge to prevent the door from dropping too quickly when you open the dishwasher. Use caution when installing the new door spring because it is under tension and could snap. To access the part, you'll need to remove the screws that mount the dishwasher to the countertop. Installing this high-quality and easy-to-install replacement part will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the dishwasher, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner (item W10282479) to help remove limescale and mineral build-up, which can be unsightly and affect your dishwasher's performance. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
