It's listed for F\u0026amp;P dishwashers, but models aren't on file, so compare the old springs or send us your model and serial number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDishwasher door falling open?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront loading dishwashers use springs at the door hinges to counterbalance the weight of the door. They let it lower in a controlled way and help it stay partly open when you want it to. When a spring stretches, snaps or comes adrift, the door drops heavily, slams onto its stops, or springs back up too hard. Running with one broken spring puts extra load on the other side and on the hinge itself. Replacing both springs together keeps the door balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel kit 521565P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor hinge spring service kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo springs per kit, per our records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel dishwashers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 springs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the hinge springs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch off at the wall and turn off the tap. The springs are usually reached from the sides or base of the dishwasher, which may mean sliding it partly out of its cavity. Take note of where each spring hooks on before removing it. Fit the new springs to the same points on both sides, then open and close the door a few times to check it lowers evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I replace both springs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it's good practice. If one spring has failed, the other has done the same work and is often close behind. Fitting a matched pair keeps the door balanced, and this kit is recorded as containing two.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fisher \u0026 Paykel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551411826766,"sku":"521565P","price":80.03,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/521565p-genuine-fisher-and-paykel-dishwasher-door-hinge-spring-kit-pair.jpg?v=1792026462","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/521565p-genuine-fisher-and-paykel-dishwasher-door-hinge-spring-kit-pair","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
