Before you replace it

Start with safety. Disconnect power before inspection. Do not disturb gas connections. Stop for burning smells, damaged wiring or uncertain access and contact a qualified technician.
  • A heavy or dropping door can involve the spring, cable, hinge or mounting. Support the door and arrange inspection before choosing a replacement.

Compare the actual package.

Compare the exact reference, quantity and model evidence before comparing cost. Retailer prices are dated observations; shipping and tax are extra unless the seller says otherwise.

Choose a listing only after resolving model fit and package differences. A lower price, familiar brand or similar photograph is not additional compatibility evidence. We have not physically tested these offers or ranked their quality.

Plan the replacement.

This is an overview for planning the work. Use your complete model’s service instructions for access, fasteners and final checks. The linked catalogs identify the part and may provide repair material for specific models; they are not instructions for every appliance.

We have not reviewed a replacement procedure for this record. Ask the retailer for instructions covering your complete model before disassembly.

Availability & number history

Last status check: 2026-10-21. Listed by the cited retailer when reviewed. Confirm current stock and delivery with the retailer.

Availability can change. Check the current retailer listing; a missing listing alone does not prove that a part is discontinued.

A few useful answers.

Does a shared model prefix confirm fit?

No. Only the complete model listed in the evidence has been reviewed. An unlisted revision is unknown, not a confirmed mismatch.

Is this a detergent-dispenser spring?

No. WP8270020 balances the main dishwasher door. WP3368999 and WP8066018 are separate references for dispenser mechanisms.

Does a heavy door prove the spring has failed?

No. A cable, hinge or attachment can also affect balance. Support the door and arrange inspection before choosing a loaded spring; the fit list is not a diagnosis.

Does KUDI01DLBL0 confirm nearby revisions?

No. KUDI01DLBL0 has its own corroborated relationship. A shared KUDI01 prefix or different final revision remains unknown unless that complete model is listed separately.

Other parts to identify separately

Related references are not interchangeable. Check each part against your model.

  • WD03X20445 — Different reference to identify separately. Not an interchangeable substitute; check its own complete-model evidence.
  • 154579101 — Different reference to identify separately. Not an interchangeable substitute; check its own complete-model evidence.
