Washer Support Parts

The Damper Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It is designed to control the movement of the washer drum, providing stability and reducing vibrations during the spin cycle. It measures approximately 9 inches long and over 1 inch wide.

Causes of a bad damper assembly can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from unbalanced loads, or material fatigue.

Symptoms of a bad damper assembly include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash cycle
• Loud banging noises during spinning
• The washer moving or shifting during operation
• Poor balance or wobbling of the drum

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Controls drum movement and reduces vibration during the spin cycle. Replace if worn, cracked, or causing excessive bouncing to restore stability.

The Shock Absorber is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. It is a crucial component that helps reduce vibrations and dampens movement during the spin cycle. The shock absorber absorbs mechanical stresses to prevent the washer tub, suspension springs, and other components from wearing out prematurely.  

Causes of a bad shock absorber include wear and tear over time, cracks or breaks from heavy loads, or damage due to impact.  

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

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. 

Suspension damper shock absorber for front-load washers. Replaces cracked, weak, or broken shocks causing excessive vibration and off-balance loads.

Shock absorber that cushions vibrations during spin cycles. Mounts between the drum and base. Replace if cracked, leaking, or worn to restore stability.

Secures the washer's inner basket to the drive hub, keeping the tub centered and stable during spin. Replace if cracked, corroded, or bolts are damaged.

Replaces broken or worn washer shock absorber that controls tub movement during spin. Installs on washer suspension to reduce vibration and shaking.

Reduces drum vibration during spin cycles. Replace if washer shakes excessively or drum moves too much. Mounts between drum and base. Sold individually.

This friction damper assembly adds controlled resistance to a door or panel so it opens and closes smoothly. Replacing a worn damper helps prevent sudden drops or slamming and restores a solid, quiet feel to the motion. What it does:

• Provides controlled friction to the hinge mechanism for smooth, damped movement
• Works with the hinge system to help balance door/panel weight
• Reduces slamming and impact, improving overall feel and sound
• Symptoms include the door dropping open quickly, slamming, uneven/loose motion, or clicking/squeaking near the hinges

• 1 friction damper assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the hinge/damper mounting area per your model's service documentation
• Support the door/panel during removal and match the original orientation and hardware
• After installation, cycle the door open/closed to ensure smooth, balanced motion before reassembly

Damper assembly mounts to the washer base to support the drum and reduce vibration. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn to restore stability.

Includes suspension pads.

Supports and centers the inner tub in front-load washers. Replace if cracked, corroded, or broken to restore proper drum alignment and balance.

Spider arm connects the wash basket to the drive shaft in front-load washers. Replace if cracked, corroded, or broken to restore proper basket support.

Mounting bracket that secures and stabilizes internal washer components. Replace if broken, cracked, or damaged to restore proper panel alignment.

This washer shock absorber mounts between the outer tub and base to control movement during spin. Replacing a worn damper restores stability, reduces vibration and noise, and helps prevent the machine from walking or banging.

• Stabilizes the tub during spin by absorbing and controlling movement
• Reduces vibration and cabinet noise for smoother operation
• Helps the washer reach and maintain proper spin speed
• Worn shocks can cause shaking, banging, or walking during spin

• Disconnect power and water; use gloves and protect the floor.
• Access from the front or rear depending on model; remove panels as needed.
• Support the tub, then remove fasteners at both ends; install the new damper in the same orientation and tighten securely.
• Reassemble, level the washer, and run a test spin to check for vibration.

Trunnion assembly for washing machines. Supports and allows outer tub rotation during wash and spin cycles. Replace if cracked, worn, or damaged.
