This genuine OEM shock absorber kit for your front load washer reduces vibrations and minimizes the impact of the movement of the drum during the wash cycle. Typically located at the bottom of the washer, the kit includes 2 dual-stage shock absorbers, 1 shock mounting pin, and 4 locking nuts to secure the absorbers to their mounting brackets. If you notice excessive vibrations or banging and knocking noises during the wash cycle, the shock absorbers may be faulty. The drum may also appear to be unstable or tilt excessively when manually moved. To replace the shock absorbers, start by detaching the rear panel and removing the screws that secure the motor control board housing to the base. Move the housing aside to access the shock absorbers. Release the mounting pins to remove the old shock absorbers. If necessary, detach the air chamber to release the upper right mounting pin. Install the new shock absorbers by positioning them in the shock mounts with the plunger shafts facing downward. Snap in the mounting pins to secure the shock absorbers. Reattach the air chamber and the motor control board housing. Secure the housing and reinstall the rear panel. Remember, this kit includes two shock absorbers, and it is recommended to replace both simultaneously since they tend to wear out at similar rates.
