We recently moved and the plastic pieces that hold the shock Absorber to the frame of the unit broke. Do you sell these plastic pieces seperately? If so, what is the part #? How much is each? Thank you for your time.

My washing machine was making a lot of noise during spin cycle. Recently it started to leak as well. When I opened it up to take a look, I noticed that the tub was broken and appeared to be disintegrating. Clearly the tub needs to be replaced, but I am suspecting that the shock absorbers are bad as well, and this is what caused the problem. Do you recommend that I replace all 4 shock absorbers as well?

Mike for Model Number ghw9150pw0

Answer Hello Mike. Yes, if the shocks 8182703 are bad, you will need to replace them as well with the tub assembly. Hope this helps.

Have a GGW9200GWO dryer by Whirlpool and was told it had bad shocks and need new ones. How hard it to change them by owner? They want to charge $137 each and $88 to install. To much mark up for me. Any help would be BIG time appreciated Thanks

Joe

Answer Hi Joe. The shock absorber part # 8182703 / 1-each. Remove the power. Remove the front lower panel 3-torx screws. Then the shocks simply twist lock one direction only into the top and bottom of the tub. Thank You.

I replaced pulley 7 mos ago and now have the same problem. Lots of noise on spin cycle and new pulley worn and loose. Do shocks need to be replaced?

Jim for Model Number 110 42822 202. Kenmore he3

Answer Jim, The "shocks" don't have much to do with worn out pulley or belts. They can make noise if they're dirty, worn, or loose, but you may want to start looking for a worn out tub bearing causing the noise and the loose pulley, and the inner tub to "wobble". Good Luck and Thanks

Sometimes my washer will not finish the cycle and blinks F02 on the displays. What does this mean?

Chris for Model Number 110.42926.200

Answer Hello Chris. Most of the time the F02 code is a long drain, and the drain pump is clogged and needs to be cleared out. If the drain pump is clear, replace the pump 280187. Hope this helps.

My duet frontload washer bounces and walks around the floor. when I pulled the back cover, I find only 3 shock absorbers 2 by the ccu and 1 in the center of the tub on the other side. I thought that there should be 4 to keep it balanced. Am I incorrect?

I had broken shock absorbers in the front of my machine. To ensure longevety of my machine I attempted to replace the rear absorbers too. Trying to get rear absorbers in seems impossible so I used a bolt to keep in place but the tub now sits too far back. Are there different shocks for the rear or any special instructions that are different for the rear shocks? Thank you.

Michael for Model Number 110.42922200

Answer Michael, All four shocks are the same 8182703 to remove/replace the shocks "The tub is held in position by four shock absorbers, two in front and two at the back. Each shock absorber can be disconnected from the tub by turning the top of the shock mount counter clockwise, 90°. The shock can be removed from the washer by turning the bottom shock mount counterclockwise, 90°. Remove the top end of the suspension springs from the hanger slot in the top cabinet frame. To release the spring at the right side of the cabinet, it may be necessary to remove the wiring harness retainer from the cabinet. * When reinstalling the tub, be sure to hook the springs into the holes towards the front of the tub as well as the front of the cabinet.* You probably have something out of alignment or jammed, holding the tub to the rear of the cabinet. Thanks and Good Luck

My washing machine makes a lot of noise and vibrates badly when spinning. When I spin the drum by hand, it makes a little bit of a grinding noise. I took the front lower panle off and the shocks "look" ok. Any advice?

The drum on the washer makes a loud noise when the washer goes through spin cycle. It is not out of balance. When it is empty and reach inside it is very easy to move the drum around. Is that normal? How do you know if the shock absorbers are bad?
