Description

The Absorber is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It plays a role in minimizing vibrations and noise during operation by damping the mechanical movements within the machine. 

Causes of a bad Absorber can include the natural wear and tear from continuous use, degradation due to exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, and mechanical failure from excessive loads or unbalanced cycles.

Symptoms of a bad Absorber include:

• Increased vibration or shaking during operation.
• Unusual noises like thumping or banging during the spin cycle.
• The washing machine moving excessively or "walking" across the floor.
• Uneven wear and tear on other washing machine components.

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