This suspension damper stabilizes the tub/drum by absorbing movement and vibration during operation. Replacing a worn damper helps reduce shaking and noise, improving spin performance and overall machine stability. What it does:
- Absorbs and controls tub/drum movement to reduce vibration and noise
- Helps prevent banging, "walking," or out-of-balance shutdowns during spin
- Can address excessive shaking, rattling, and longer spin times
- Restores smoother, more controlled operation when the original damper is worn
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
- Access location varies by model; support the tub/drum to relieve load before removal
- Note orientation and reuse existing mounting hardware if new fasteners aren't provided
- After installation, re-level the appliance and run a test cycle to verify stability
