A complete rear lid hinge spring service kit for Henny Penny commercial pressure fryers. Every time the rear hinge spring needs replacing, the hinge pin and E-clips must come out too — and they should always go back in as new. This kit puts all three components together so the job is done properly, in one visit, with no second delivery.

The spring in this kit is spec-matched to Henny Penny part number 186381, which supersedes the legacy part number 75293. If your service records reference 75293, this kit is the correct current replacement solution.

Kit Contents

• 1× Lid Hinge Spring — spec-matched to Henny Penny P/N 186381 (supersedes 75293 / 16108)
• 1× Hinge Pin — equivalent to Henny Penny P/N 16110 (146mm steel pin)
• 2× E-Clip Retainer Rings — equivalent to Henny Penny P/N 16111

Total kit weight: 746g.

Why Replace All Three Together

The hinge pin and E-clips must be removed to access and replace the spring — they are part of the same disassembly. Both components have endured the same heat cycles, grease exposure, and operational stress as the spring itself. Refitting a new spring with a worn pin or tired clips is poor practice and increases the likelihood of a repeat call-out. This kit ensures the complete hinge spring mechanism is restored to specification in a single service visit.

Important Information

Safe removal and installation of the lid hinge spring requires the Henny Penny 14960 spring loading tool. This job should not be attempted without it — the spring is under significant tension and can cause serious injury if released uncontrolled. The 14960 tool is available separately from LaunchCatering Ltd. Always ensure the fryer is fully powered down, depressurised, and cooled before starting work.
