Whirlpool Washer Support Parts

The Shock Absorber Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit includes 4 shock absorbers designed to reduce vibrations and absorb shocks during the washing and spinning cycles, providing stability and minimizing excessive movement of the washer drum.

Causes of a bad shock absorber can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to heavy loads or unbalanced loads that put excessive strain on the absorbers, or damage due to impact or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad shock absorber kit include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash cycle
• Loud banging noises
• The washer moving or "walking" during operation
• Leaks due to increased stress on the tub and other components

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

This washer suspension rod kit supports and steadies the tub so your machine can spin smoothly with less vibration and noise. Replacing worn suspension helps reduce banging, off-balance interruptions, and wet loads after spin. What it does:

• Supports and centers the wash tub within the cabinet
• Dampens movement to reduce shaking, thumping, and "walking"
• Helps the washer reach and maintain proper spin speed
• Resolve UL/unbalanced errors, excessive vibration, and a tub that sags or leans

• Four suspension rods with pre-attached springs

• Disconnect power and water; move the appliance to access service panels safely
• Lift the top/remove the cabinet; support the tub during service
• Replace rods one at a time to keep the tub supported; match any color-coded positions
• Level the washer after reassembly; perform calibration/diagnostics if the model requires it

The Suspension Rod Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit includes suspension rods that are designed to support and stabilize the washing machine tub during the wash and spin cycles. 

Causes of a bad suspension rod can include regular wear and tear, overloading the washing machine, or damage from heavy loads that place excessive stress on the rods. 

Symptoms of a bad suspension rod include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash or spin cycles
• Loud banging or knocking noises during operation
• The washing machine tub being off-balance or leaning to one side
• The washer moving or "walking" across the floor during use

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

This washer shock absorber helps control tub movement during spin and agitation. Replacing a worn damper restores stability, reduces vibration, and helps prevent excessive noise and shaking during cycles.

• Controls suspension movement to keep the tub steady
• Helps reduce banging, walking, and excessive vibration
• Can alleviate loud thumping or rattling during spin
• Supports smoother, quieter operation when shocks wear out

• Unplug washer and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access from front or rear panel varies by model; support the tub to relieve tension
• Replace in matched positions; some washers use multiple shocks
• Each end is fully seated and locked before reassembly

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. 

Includes suspension pads.

This support is a replacement mounting bracket designed to secure and stabilize internal components. Restoring a damaged support helps keep panels and assemblies aligned for quieter, more reliable appliance operation. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point to hold panels or components in place
• Prevents movement that can cause rattling, vibration, or misalignment
• Helps maintain proper fit and operation of adjoining parts and panels
• Typically replaces worn, bent, or broken supports that allow looseness

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, water before starting any repair
• Inspect surrounding fasteners and mating surfaces; replace any damaged clips or screws
• Use proper tools and follow the appliance service manual for access and removal

This 22-inch strap snubber cushions and guides the dryer belt at the front of the drum to help reduce noise and prevent premature belt wear. It restores proper belt routing for smoother, quieter tumbling in compatible Whirlpool dryers. What it does:

• Cushions the belt where it contacts the front drum area to reduce rubbing and chafing.
• Helps maintain correct belt routing and tension to prevent slipping and uneven drum rotation.
• Can reduce squeaks, squeals, and jerky drum movement caused by a worn or broken snubber.
• Protects the belt from premature wear that may lead to fraying or failure.

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front panel or drum—follow the OEM service manual for safe disassembly.
• Inspect the drive belt, idler pulley, and drum rollers when replacing the snubber; replace any worn parts.
• Wear gloves and eye protection.

The Strap is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a component located inside the washer tub that holds onto and spins the outer tub during the wash cycle. The strap washer plays an important role in securing the outer tub in place while continuously channeling rotational force to drive the washing action and clean clothes effectively. 

Causes of a bad strap can include wear and tear from years of use, damage due to impact or mishandling, or degradation from chemical exposure. 

Symptoms of a bad strap include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during spin cycles
• Noise or grinding sounds coming from the washer tub area 
• The outer tub wobbling or moving more than usual
• Uneven agitation that fails to thoroughly clean all clothes

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