The Shock Absorber is an OEM part for Whirlpool brand washing machines. It plays a vital role in reducing vibrations and absorbing shocks during the wash cycle, providing stability and minimizing excessive movement.
Symptoms of a bad shock absorber include:
- Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash cycle
- Loud banging noises
- The washer moving or walking during the operation
- Leaks due to increased stress on the tub and other components
Causes of a bad shock absorber can include wear and tear over time, exposure to heavy loads or unbalanced loads that put excessive strain on the absorbers, or damage due to impact or mishandling.
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
