Frigidaire 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

The Suspension Rod is an OEM part for Frigidaire top load washers. This rod is designed to support the washer tub, helping to absorb vibrations and maintain stability during the washing and spinning cycles.  

Causes of a bad suspension rod can include wear and tear over time, heavy or unbalanced loads that strain the rod, or physical damage from impacts or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad suspension rod include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash cycle
• The washer moving or "walking" during operation
• Unusual banging or knocking noises
• The washer tub being off-center or not balanced

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

The Suspension is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. It absorbs shocks and reduces vibration during the spin cycle. The suspension system minimizes noise and prevents the washer from walking or moving excessively during operation.  

Causes of worn suspension parts are typically due to normal wear and tear over time under heavy loads or unbalanced loads. 

Symptoms of a bad suspension include:

• Loud banging or knocking noises during spin cycles
• Excessive shaking or vibration
• The washer inching or walking across the floor
• Damage or cracks in the internal suspension components

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