General Electric WD02X28998 Dishwasher Door Spring

Product Description

The GENERAL ELECTRIC WD02X28998 is a genuine OEM door spring designed as a direct replacement component for GE dishwashers. Door springs counterbalance the weight of the dishwasher door, allowing it to open and close smoothly and hold position without slamming. Over time, these springs fatigue or break under repeated cycle stress, resulting in a door that drops sharply or fails to stay open at a working angle. This part restores proper door tension and smooth operation. Installation is typically handled by appliance technicians or experienced DIYers with basic hand tools.

This door spring is used in residential dishwasher repair and maintenance applications. It is a direct OEM part, meaning it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original factory component. This makes it appropriate for service calls where restoring original door function is the goal rather than an aftermarket substitution. Technicians servicing GE dishwashers with door-balance complaints or a visibly broken spring will find this a straightforward swap.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a genuine OEM replacement door spring for compatible GE residential dishwasher models. Verify your model number against the GE parts catalog before ordering to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Disconnect electrical power to the dishwasher at the breaker before beginning any door spring replacement work. Door springs are under tension and should be handled carefully to avoid injury during removal and installation. A basic set of hand tools including screwdrivers and needle-nose pliers is typically sufficient. Consult the appliance service manual for your specific model to confirm spring routing and anchor points before proceeding.
