Spring worked well on Kitchenaid Dishwasher
The door release handle arm broke one one side. There was only one spring on the side opposite the failure. Added a second spring to balance the loade on the handle arms.

Dishwasher handle
The part was a match - but was not sure how to do it until I took the door apart. The videos helped but they were not crystal clear. It was a five minute repair after all.

Required separating control panel from the door of the dishwasher: six torque-bit screws. Once the control panel was separated from the door itself, the old handle snapped out easily, the new one dropped right in (once I was sure of the orientation). There are two small springs that guide the handle operation. Using a curved hook to pull the free end of each spring over the stud on the handle, the job was completed. Only required putting control panel back in place (snap-in), and replacing the screws that hold it. A future repair will involve repairing the studs the screws go into, as all but two have fractured. Epoxy will take car of that.
