eggo lid spring help

[yeahthatsme]

hey guys, i just got an eggo, and i took the lid off to take the thing apart and the springs went flying and now i cant get them back in right, so somebody please help me....thanks

the springs go under the lid, were they wrap around like were there are 2 layers of thread should face twords the back of the hopper and the ends should slip into the slots. be careful not to strip he threads on the plastic with the screws. the pressure on the lid should be to close it

[yeahthatsme]

which slots? could you be a bit more explanatory? i'm REALLY new to this, and i only see one slot.sooo...umm...could you be a bit more exact? thanks ALOT

[jayel579]

the springs are bent or have a 90 degree angle at one point. there are slots for them to go into, one way you put it together the pressure will be for the lid to open, the other is for it to close. once slot is on the side, theres another that goes into the hopper, thats were you want the angles peice of thread to go.

[yeahthatsme]

see i cant find the second slot, i have the one on the hopper that the angled one goes into, but i cant find the other one...

see what happens when you take things apart :p

The 90* posts go in the holes and the other end just kinda tucks under the plastic lid. Once you place the spring in its proper orientation with the post poking in the holes the other end of the spring is resting on top of the lid. Take your finger and drag it down until it snaps beneath the lid.
