Normally the problem is not the spring, but a broken
spring mounting tab on the door latch head (hook) assembly or the inner
door panel.
If it's the door panel, it's usually easier and cheaper to use epoxy and some kind of hardware to fashion a new spring mount.
The door latch head (hook) is easy to replace or repair if that's the issue.
We have the service manual for this model and have uploaded it to our site
here to help you. You will need the
free Adobe Reader to view or print it.
Normally
you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the manual)
and then you'll see the screws you need to remove.
Or you can watch a
YouTube video (not a video I made) here that demonstrates how it's done.
The best place to order Sharp parts is
