Symptoms of a bad shock absorber include:

• Excessive shaking, vibration or noise during the wash and spin cycles   
• The washer walking or moving during operation
• Premature failure of other suspension parts like springs or the washer frame
• Potential leaks if movement stresses plumbing connections

Symptoms of a bad hose include:

• Water leaks underneath or around the washer
• Puddles or standing water inside the washer cabinet
