Default Kenmore/Whirpool detergent cup (lid) problem
Model Number: FF4810650   Brand: Kenmore   Age: 5 - 10 years   

This should be a trivial issue, but it's keeping the d/w from working correctly.

The hinge on the dispenser got popped, and the spring that holds the lid open got "unsprung." I can see how it's supposed to fit, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it back on so the ends of the spring put tension on the door.

If anyone's done this before, and can offer any "secret" tips, I'd sure appreciate it.

Many thanks,

Bob

You need to pull the door off and rotate spring till it puts pressure on the door to close, then remount door.
