Description

A replacement dampening band that cushions the washer tub and helps reduce vibration and noise during spin cycles. Restores smoother, quieter operation when the tub is rubbing or moving excessively. What it does:

• Wraps around/under the outer tub to absorb shocks and dampen tub movement during spin
• Reduces vibration, banging, and harsh impacts that occur with worn or damaged dampeners
• Helps keep the tub centered and prevents metal-to-metal contact
• Common symptom: washer vibrates, rocks, or makes loud knocking during spin

What's included:

• One dampening band

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing the washer cabinet or top panel; follow model-specific instructions
• Inspect surrounding suspension components and mounting points for wear; replace if damaged
• After installation, run a short spin cycle with no load to reduce vibration
