Electrolux Washer Support Parts

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.

This rear shock absorber kit stabilizes the washer tub by damping movement and vibration. Replacing a worn shock restores smoother, quieter spins and helps prevent the drum from banging the cabinet or the machine from walking. What it does:

• Dampens tub movement to control vibration during wash and spin
• Helps prevent banging/thumping noises and cabinet contact
• Reduces "walking" or excessive shaking of the washer
• Can help minimize out-of-balance interruptions

• One rear shock absorber kit

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Support the tub/drum to relieve load before removing the shock
• Remove retaining pins/bolts; install the new shock in the same orientation and transfer any reusable hardware
• For consistent damping, replacing shocks in pairs or as a complete set is commonly recommended

This front shock absorber kit stabilizes the washer's tub during spin to reduce vibration and noise. Replacing worn dampers helps restore smooth operation and protects the cabinet and suspension from excessive movement.

• Dampens and controls tub movement during wash and spin
• Helps reduce shaking, "walking," and loud thumping/banging noises
• Can help when the washer won't reach or maintain full spin due to imbalance
• Replaces weakened or damaged front shock mounts/dampers

• Disconnect power and water before servicing
• Access shocks per your model's procedure; support the tub to relieve load
• Install with mounts aligned and fasteners tightened securely; verify free tub movement
• Many replace shocks in pairs to maintain balanced damping

Note: This is one shock absorber, order quantity needed.

The Shock Absorber is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. The shock absorbers play a vital role in reducing vibrations during the spin cycle and absorbing mechanical shocks that occur with imbalanced or off-center loads. Their durable design effectively isolates the external structure from damaging reverberations.

Causes may involve age-related wear that diminishes shock absorbing qualities over thousands of machine cycles. Impact damage or broken mounts could also necessitate replacement. Installing this kit restores a quiet and stable washing performance to the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad shock absorber include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during operation, especially spin cycles
• Loud banging or knocking noises from the washer
• The washer moving or walking on the floor during use
• Leaks from external tub connections

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Shock Absorber is an OEM part for Whirlpool brand washing machines. It plays a vital role in reducing vibrations and absorbing shocks during the wash cycle, providing stability and minimizing excessive movement. 

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

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. 

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
 

The Trunnion is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. It allows the outer wash tub to rotate during agitation and the spin cycles. The trunnion is a heavy-duty, durable component designed to withstand the rigors of repeated cycles and turbulent wash motions.

Causes of a bad trunnion can be wear over extended use, damage from unbalanced loads that strain the pivot point, or fractures from impact or manual mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad trunnion include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during operation
• Noisy or grinding sounds emanating from the tub area
• Difficulty starting or stopping tub motions
• The tub failing to rotate properly during cycles

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The trunnion is the hub that mounts the washer's inner tub to the drive shaft. Replacing a worn hub restores a solid, centered connection so the basket spins smoothly without wobble, slip, or grinding. What it does:

• Secures and centers the spin basket on the drive shaft for balanced rotation
• Transfers drive torque to the inner tub during spin
• Helps maintain basket alignment to reduce vibration
• Typical symptoms of failure: loose/wobbly tub, scraping or grinding noises, poor or no spin, frequent out-of-balance events

• 1 trunnion

• Disconnect power and water before service; wear gloves and eye protection
• Access the hub by removing top/access parts, then the agitator/wash plate and inner-tub fasteners
• Clean the shaft and mating surfaces; seat the new trunnion fully and tighten fasteners evenly in a crisscross pattern
• Inspect related parts (tub seal, bolts, bearing) while open and replace if worn; run a short test cycle to ensure smooth spin
