The Shock Absorber Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. It is a comprehensive kit that includes 2 shock absorbers, 1 locking pin, 4 lock nuts, and a set of instructions. These shock absorbers play a vital role in reducing vibrations and absorbing shocks during the washing cycle, providing stability and minimizing excessive movement.
Causes of a bad shock absorber can include wear and tear over time, exposure to heavy loads or unbalanced loads that put excessive strain on the absorbers, or damage due to impact or mishandling.
Symptoms of a bad Shock Absorber include:
- Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash cycle
- Loud banging noises
- The washer moving or walking during the operation
- Leaks due to increased stress on the tub and other components
This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
