SOURCE: Broken torsion spring needs to be replaced

There are indeed two springs that "cross" each other, and they must be both be replaced to ensure full strength.

Normally you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.

Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) that demonstrates how it's done.

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

SOURCE: how to replace torsion spring

If this is the flip down door. You will need to take apart the side cover of the unit to fasten the spring. Once you have done that you need to put a pen or something to hook it so it doesn't drop down in the unit. If you are unable to hook the spring in the door. You must take the outer cover off the door to hook the spring and then replace the cover. You may find this to be a two person job and may be easier to hook the door before you hook the unit. Some doors are different then others.
