John for Model Number A612 series 02

Answer Hello John. Yes, usually this is enough to replace the dampers 203956 in the unit. If not, you can loosen the spring bolts and get more room to replace the dampers. It does sound like they need to be replaced. 

Girlla for Model Number maytag lat9416aam

Answer Hello Girlla. Based on the information you provided, make sure the unit is level and if so, replace the damper kit 203956.

Stephen for Model Number LAT8214AAE

Answer Hello Stephen. You will not need to use cleaner, but make sure you remove all the old pad. Then you will glue the pads 203956 to the base of the unit. Hope this helps. 

Sbabola

Answer Hello Sbabola. Remove the front from the washer and raise the top and disconnect the power to the unit. Then place the large pulley under the washer on top of a 4x4 board. Brace the washer where it does not fall. This will raise the assembly enough for you to access and replace the damper kit 203956. Be careful not to knock the washer off the block of wood. Brace the washer well, where it can not fall of the wood. Hope this helps. 

Richard B. for Model Number A610 MAYTAG WASHER

Answer Hello Richard. If you are hearing metal to metal when braking, you will need to replace the brake assembly 6-2011900. If you need the damper kit 203956, you will need to order it separately. Hope this helps. 

Richard B. for Model Number A610 MAYTAG WASHER

Answer Hello Richard. The dampers are use to help in the balancing of the machine and the noise of operation. If they are bad, the machine will become unbalanced. Hope this helps.
