KMS Woodworks on Sep 10, 2011My guess is the spring is part of the Hinge mechanism...You might be able to contact the manufacturer or check out their web site to see if you can find a detailed parts diagram...this should confirm or deny my guess.. The next and bigger problem may be getting the part and performing the Hinge transplant ...that may be a simple 4 screw replacement of full on door surgery. The full door surgery may be beyond basic DIY skills. The $65 is the trip charge...gas is getting up there.Helpful Reply

Imagery on Sep 11, 2011Ann, If it's not broken, it could be off the "track". I have seen these slip off, and just require reinstalling. Could be the type that has the nylon string? If the cabinet to the left or right rubs , or is too close to the spring system, it can also be why it's failing...Just a thought, I have seen this on a kitchen-aid before.Helpful Reply
