FAQs

What does this orange hinge spring do?

This hinge spring provides tension to the dishwasher door. It helps to balance the weight of the door, allowing it to stay open at various angles and preventing it from slamming shut unexpectedly.

Which dishwasher models is this part compatible with?

This specific orange hinge spring is compatible with Rangemaster RDW1260FI and Statesman BDW60/12 models. It is an equivalent to part numbers 37008664 and C37008664.

How do I know if I need to replace my dishwasher's hinge spring?

Symptoms include the dishwasher door not staying open, falling open suddenly, or feeling unusually heavy or stiff to open/close. If the spring appears broken or stretched, it also needs replacement.

Is installation difficult?

Installation typically requires basic mechanical skills. It involves accessing the hinge mechanism, which may mean removing panels. If you are not comfortable with DIY repairs, it is recommended to hire a professional.

What is the length of this hinge spring?

The total length of this hinge spring is 167mm.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, while this is an orange variant, grey variants of the Spares2Go dishwasher door hinge spring are also available for different models or preferences.

What should I do if the part doesn't fit?

Ensure you have verified your dishwasher's model number against the compatible models listed. If the model number is correct and it still doesn't fit, double-check the part number equivalent and contact the retailer for assistance.

Troubleshooting

Dishwasher door still falls open after replacing the spring.

Ensure the spring is the correct tension for your model and is securely attached at both mounting points. Check if the hinge mechanism itself is damaged or worn, which might require replacing the hinge assembly.

The new spring seems too tight or too loose.

Verify that this is the correct replacement spring for your specific dishwasher model. Ensure it is installed in the correct orientation as per the original part.

Difficulty accessing or installing the spring.

Consult your dishwasher's user manual for specific instructions on accessing the door hinge components. If you are uncomfortable with the process, seek assistance from a qualified appliance repair technician.

The door now closes too forcefully.

This could indicate the spring is not correctly seated or is of the wrong specification. Double-check the installation and compatibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This hinge spring is specifically designed to be a compatible replacement for Rangemaster RDW1260FI and Statesman BDW60/12 models. It is equivalent to OEM part numbers 37008664 and C37008664. Before purchasing, please verify your dishwasher's model number and check if it matches these specifications or requires an equivalent part number.

**Setup (Installation):

*Note: Installation typically requires basic mechanical skills and potentially disconnecting power to the dishwasher. If unsure, consult a qualified technician.*

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply.
  2. Access the Hinge: Depending on the model, you may need to open the dishwasher door fully and remove the kick panel at the bottom or detach exterior panels to access the hinge mechanism.
  3. Locate and Remove Old Spring: Identify the faulty hinge spring connected to the door hinge. Carefully unhook or unscrew it from its mounting points.
  4. Install New Spring: Attach the new 167mm orange hinge spring to the same mounting points, ensuring it is securely fastened.
  5. Test Door Mechanism: Gently operate the door to check for smooth, balanced movement. Re-attach any panels removed.
  6. Restore Power: Reconnect the dishwasher to the power supply.

Care:

This is a mechanical component. No specific cleaning is usually required. Ensure it remains free from obstruction by general dishwasher cleaning routines. Regular cleaning of the dishwasher interior and door seals is recommended to prevent debris buildup that could interfere with the door mechanism.
