W10156812 - Whirlpool Microwave Spring

This Microwave Spring (W10156812) is a genuine part manufactured by Whirlpool, specifically designed for microwaves. It's compatible with a variety of brands, including GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Estate, Amana, and Maytag. Also known as a "Microwave Door Interlock Spring," this component plays a crucial role in providing flexible suspension, contacts, latching, and component attachments within your microwave. Torsion springs help with door opening, clips attach to oven racks, and door locks utilize springs to securely engage latches. If you notice your microwave door struggling to open, the oven racks not staying in place, or the door lock mechanism failing, it's likely time for a replacement. Weak or broken springs can lead to appliance failures, so ensuring your spring matches the original specifications for performance is vital. Before purchasing, please verify your device's model number for compatibility.
