Description

This shock absorber stabilizes the washer's tub during spin by absorbing vibration and movement. Replacing a weak damper helps reduce shaking and banging for smoother, quieter cycles and better spin performance.

• Controls tub motion and dampens vibration during acceleration, spin, and braking
• Helps prevent excessive shaking, thumping, and walking
• When worn, can cause loud banging, off-balance interruptions, or longer spin times
• Supports the suspension to reduce stress on hoses and other components

What's included: 1 shock absorber assembly Install notes:

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Support the tub to relieve load on the damper; remove mounting pins/bolts
• Install the new damper in the same orientation; ensure both ends are fully seated/locked and reuse original hardware if required
• Reassemble panels and run an empty spin test to ensure smooth operation

Note: Many washers use multiple dampers; inspect the others for wear and replace as needed to maintain balanced suspension.
