This motor support damper sits between the refrigerator's compressor and base to absorb vibration and movement. Replacing a worn damper helps quiet rattles and humming from the back of the cabinet and keeps the compressor properly supported.
- Cushions the compressor to reduce transmitted vibration and noise
- Helps quiet humming, buzzing, or rattling from the lower rear of the refrigerator
- Maintains proper compressor alignment and support on the base pan
- Common signs of wear: increased vibration/noise, a cracked or flattened damper, or noticeable compressor movement when running
What's included: One motor support damper. Install notes:
- Unplug the refrigerator and pull it forward to access the rear; allow the compressor to cool before working
- Support the compressor to remove load from the mount before loosening hardware
- Replace the damper and tighten mounting hardware evenly without over-compressing the rubber
- Avoid bending or stressing refrigerant tubing; wear gloves and eye protection
Note: Many models use multiple dampers at the compressor feet—check your parts diagram to confirm the quantity required.
