858430465 Genuine Door Spring G/D for Electrolux Group Ovens and Upright Cookers, Old Electrolux Part Number 43046

Spring 858430465 is a genuine Electrolux group door spring, carried over from the older Electrolux part number 43046. It is listed as a G/D spring and comes from the Electrolux group cooking parts range. Door springs are made in different lengths and strengths, so compare the hooks, coil length and number with the spring you're replacing before you order.

Oven door dropping or slamming shut?

Door springs balance the weight of an oven or grill door. They let it open smoothly, hold it steady part way and pull it closed firmly against the seal. When a spring stretches, breaks or unhooks, the door can drop open with a bang, sit unevenly, leave a gap at the top that lets heat escape, or refuse to stay shut. Doors fitted with two springs often run crooked when only one has failed. A scorched or discoloured strip above the door is a typical clue that heat is getting out.

Swapping the door spring

Let the appliance cool and isolate the power. Springs are under tension, so wear eye protection and use pliers or a spring hook rather than fingers. You may need to remove the door or a side panel to reach the spring. Photograph the hook points first. If there are two springs, replace both so the door closes evenly.

Questions about this part

Should I replace both door springs?

If your door uses a spring on each side, replacing both together is a good idea. The remaining spring has done the same work and is often close to failing, and a mix of new and old springs can make the door sit unevenly.
