The Shock Absorber Washer is an OEM replacement part specific to Whirlpool-brand washing machines. It is a hydraulic device that absorbs the vibrations of the outer washer tub. Note: This is only one shock absorber.
Symptoms of worn or cracked shock absorber washers include:
- Noisy operation as the washer shakes or moves during cycles
- Physical signs of deterioration
- Over time, increased stresses can damage connected components
Causes involve many cycles of compression and release and solvents inside the washer degrading natural rubber. Deteriorated washers no longer absorb vibrations properly.
This part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
