Now the Whirlpool oven door spring broke!

Guess I need to start my appliance repair business :lol: The spring on the oven door went out with a bang the other day and you can tell how heavy
it is without that spring plus the oven light stays on since the door won't stay fully closed.
So out into the shop I go to find a spring combo that will work. Couldn't find any place that had the correct spring....as in out of stock.
It's fixed now. Told the wife I have saved us 1600 bucks so far over a new washer and range and she liked that!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
