Customer Questions and Answers for Shock Absorber by Frigidaire

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.
