Whirlpool W10156812 Door Spring for Microwave

The Whirlpool W10156812 Microwave Door Spring is a metal coil that functions as a hinge, linking the microwave's door to the main chassis. This spring creates tension, facilitating the smooth and secure operation of the door. As the door is closed, the spring compresses, and it expands when the door is opened, permitting a gentle swing. If the door spring becomes broken or weakened, various issues can arise. A door that sags might not seal correctly, leading to uneven cooking or potential safety concerns due to radiation leakage during operation. In more severe instances, a faulty spring can prevent the door from locking, rendering the microwave inoperative.
