Ge WH01X10343 Damper-Shock OEM Part

I researched the problem and found that normal wear and tear will cause the Damper shocks and the Suspension spring to fail. I decided to replace all Damper Shocks and the suspension Springs since I had the washer apart already. The Suspension Spring requires a lot of pull to get it in place correctly. I made a hook tool (from political yard sign frame) to hook the old spring to remove and pull the new spring up. It helps to have a second person use leverage (use a short 2x2 board) under the tub to lift it so you are not working against the weight of the tub as well as the spring tension. took about 5 minutes per spring. It helps if you get on a stool or something to get above the spring for better leverage. The Damper shock comes with directions. First they recommend a 6" Crescent wrench opened to 7/8". Mine would not open wide wide enough because the top of the shock where you are to grip is 15/16. I found that a 15/16 Crowfoot wrench on a 3/8 ratchet with an extension would reach into the close space and allow the 90 degree twist to disengage the top of the shock. I used a channel lock plier to dislodge the pin on the bottom end. All went smoothly and my wife is pleased with the result. Took about 2 hrs total. The folks at Appliance Parts Pro did an outstanding job getting the parts out and delivered in short order. The video associated with the Damper Shock was very helpful. Thanks Appliance Parts Pro!

The repair was not too difficult, but it took three of us. Two to maneuver the tub and one to replace the parts. The weights could have been removed to make this step easier, but we chose not to take the time to remove them. Additionally, washer cabinet is compact and added difficulty to the repair. Actually removing and replacing the damaged parts was straight forward.

I replaced the drive belt,the drive pulley and damper shocks,the video you guys provided was on par,thanks a bunch,

Replaced the damper shock

I first thought it was the bearing until I took the machine apart and found other issues luckily it was only two shocks and a spring causing the machine to go off balance and make all that noise. One tool I should of had would be hose clamp plyers, regular plyers worked just not as well.
