Works ... but the price!
Works fine but $45 for a spring? A whole new dishwasher is only $300

Part worked perfectly!
Needed a door spring to nurse along a very tired dishwasher. After getting the run-around from another company I purchased one from PartSelect. Arrived faster than anticipated especially being around the holidays. The spring fit perfectly. The door works perfectly again. Now I just have to buy all the other parts to bring it back up to par.

Worked but overpriced
Found out later there were other places online that had the same part for less money. This item was a bit shorter and thicker than the original one but I guess it works so far.

broken door spring
Following instructions from those that preceded me, I ordered two springs. I removed the foot plate and was able to get at the springs and replaced both the broken and the unbroken springs. Cleaned up under the unit and replaced the foot plate. Job done. Amazing! On my model it was not necessary to pull the unit out from the wall o

Replace broken door spring
I looked at parts diagram to get a general idea of part location. Then I found a YouTube video with details. It was necessary to pull dishwasher out about 8" to gain access to the two places the spring ends needed for the spring ends to connect to. The only issue was the OEM installation had a clip which was also needed. Installed wit

Both springs and links on door broken.
Previous self-repair instructions provided on this site were very helpful. I started by removing items from under the sink and inspecting drainage and water hoses of the dishwasher to determine amount of "play" for sliding the washer out. Next, remove the two screws that secure the washer under the top of the counter. Then, remove the
... Read morekickplate and barrier at the bottom. The washer then slid easily out far enough to explose the spring connector arms. I removed the old springs from the floor and the pieces of the old links (one link was ok, but I saved it for a spare). I installed the links and springs on both sides and connected to the first hole. By the way, the hole in the lower frame relatively close behind link is NOT the spring connection hole. There are a series of holes farther back. After testing the door and re-hooking the springs twice,I decided that the fourth hole gave the tension that I wanted. Now the door will come up about half way on its own, but will stay fully open when pulling out the empty bottom basket. Slide the washer back under the counter, being careful not to catch the insulation at the top and sides of the washer. Line up the top screw holes and install the screws. Install the barrier panel and kickplate at the bottom. I had to "fiddle" with the kick plate and barrier panel a little to get it right because I did not play close attention when removing them. I probably saved $100 by doing it myself. My wife said "It's just like new!"
Washer door would fall completely open, very hard fall.
Removed the two bracket screws attaching the washer to the countertop, and removed the kick panel beneath the door. Pulled the washer out enough to access the spring arms. Replaced the broken spring arms, and pushed the washer back into it's space, re-attaching the kick plate, and securing the lock tabs on top of the washer. Used one phil

Dishwasher Door Latch Broke, Door Kept Falling Down
Door Latch was almost a breeze. Do turn off power. The shock left me know that I was alive. Took 6 screws out. Sat on chair in front so that the panel could lay on my lap. The hard part was pulling the old wires off the old latch. Got it. Installed new latch. Replaced screws. Took about 15 minutes. Springs. Took off front panel

Right hand door spring broke/made door feel really heavy
Slid dishwasher out from under counter about six or eight inches. I was able to see where to attach the new spring and linkage.

After having a repairman out to changing the door handle and seeing how easy it was...I decided to try to fix the spring issue myself. I am fairly confident with most small fix it items in our house, so decided to order the original spring & linkage. The website was pretty self-explanatory, but wished someone hinted that when you have o

Do both springs at the same time, and will save you time in the long run. Otherwise, super easy to change out...wish all appliance issues were this easy to fix. I did not need to take of door off....I just needed to lay on floor & become a little limber. Other than that...super easy.

Frigidaire dishwasher. The door opens with full weight. The spring linkage was replaced since this piece was missing/broken. I purchased from local parts supplier. After I installed, there was no difference to door open weight. Question: The door spring and spring linkage are accessible to me on the left side of machine. Is there a spring on the right side of this machine. Parts select part # is ps420766. I really like your videos. Thank you.
For model number FDB635RFR4
Hi Dave, Thank you for the question. Yes, there should be a spring, Part Number: PS815938 on both sides of the door. It could also be the parts you got local. They are not always OEM parts and may not work on your model. It could also happen if you only replaced one side. Sometime both sides need to be replaced at the same time. If you only had one side before it could have become wore out. Glad the videos have been able to help you!
