We file it with Electrolux group washing machine parts. A catch spring supplies the tension that lets a latch or catch snap shut and stay shut. With no model list on file, the safest check is the number on your parts list or the old spring's shape and size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns a washing machine catch spring has failed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall springs do a lot of work in a door or lid catch. Each time the catch is pushed, the spring compresses or stretches, then returns the latch to its locked position. Over thousands of cycles it can weaken, rust or snap, and sometimes it simply goes missing when a catch is dismantled. Then the door or lid may not stay closed, the machine may not detect it as shut, or the catch may feel loose and floppy. A new spring is often all it takes to bring back a positive click.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 8581240139122\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso listed as 1240139-12\/9 (1240139129)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatch spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiled with Electrolux group washing machine parts, models not on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a catch spring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the machine first. Before taking the catch apart, photograph it from a couple of angles, because springs can fly off when released and it's easy to forget which hook goes where. Fit the new spring the same way round, check the catch moves freely and returns on its own, then reassemble and test that it closes firmly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are there two numbers for this spring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e8581240139122 is the stock number, and 1240139-12\/9 is the Electrolux number in its older dashed format, sometimes written as 1240139129.
