WR02X12059 - GE Refrigerator Spring

The WR02X12059 (WR02X12059) is a genuine part manufactured by GE for use in their refrigerators. This part, sometimes referred to as a tension spring, is a crucial component in the overall operation of your appliance.

Primarily, it's responsible for providing flexible suspension, tension, sealing, electrical connections, and sensing. Door hinges and latch mechanisms in your refrigerator rely heavily on this spring for closing force. Additionally, it plays a key role in isolating vibrations and maintaining electrical continuity through contact springs. Sensing springs check door closure, while torsion springs store rotational energy. Door gaskets also use the spring tension from this part for effective sealing.

If your refrigerator's components, such as the ice maker or latch, are failing, it may be due to an overtaxed or broken WR02X12059 spring. In such cases, replacing the spring with one of equivalent ratings is necessary to restore the beneficial forces throughout your refrigerator.

Before purchasing, remember to verify the model number of your refrigerator to ensure compatibility with the WR02X12059 spring.
