WP4451008 Whirlpool S Product Range

Whirlpool's product range includes brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. One specific item, the Microwave Door Torsion Spring, is a genuine OEM part designed for use in Whirlpool microwaves. This spring helps balance the door, aiding in its smooth opening and closing. It is available for microwaves in black, white, and biscuit colors and is intended for installation on the right-hand side.

The primary reason for the torsion spring's failure usually stems from regular use over time. After numerous cycles of opening and closing, the spring may wear out and not hold the tension needed. It can also be damaged by accidental impacts.

When a torsion spring is failing, some common signs include a door that won’t stay open at various angles, difficulty in operating the door, or a door that closes quickly and could potentially cause injury. This replacement part is also compatible with select models from Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore.
