Hobart 119079-00002 Counterbalance Spring LT1 Dishwasher

Product Description

The HOBART 119079-00002 is a genuine OEM counterbalance spring designed to support and offset the weight of the door on commercial dishwashing equipment. This spring maintains consistent door tension, allowing the door to open and close smoothly without slamming or dropping under its own weight. Proper counterbalance function reduces stress on hinges, door hardware, and the operator during each cycle. At 3.365 pounds and measuring 15.9 inches in length, this is a direct OEM replacement part intended for use by commercial kitchen equipment technicians performing door mechanism service or repair.

This counterbalance spring is designed for use in the HOBART LT1 commercial dishwasher. The LT1 is a low-temperature door-type unit common in high-volume food service environments including restaurants, cafeterias, and institutional kitchens. Counterbalance springs in these machines see repeated mechanical stress across daily operating cycles, making periodic replacement a routine part of preventive maintenance. Installing a genuine OEM spring ensures the door mechanism returns to factory specification rather than relying on aftermarket parts that may differ in tension or fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified commercial kitchen equipment technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power and water supply to the dishwasher before beginning any door mechanism service. Springs under tension can release stored energy rapidly — exercise caution when removing the old spring and seating the replacement. Refer to the HOBART LT1 service manual for the correct spring seating and retention procedure.
