Part 11047540 Washing Machine Drum Shock Absorber
Purpose
Dampens drum vibrations and stabilizes the spin cycle.
Details
The washing machine drum shock absorber mounts directly between the outer wash tub and the base of the lower cabinet frame. It functions as a critical mechanical dampener designed to counteract the intense centrifugal forces generated during high-speed water extraction phases. By absorbing kinetic energy, the component maintains proper tub alignment, controls excessive counterweight travel, and keeps the appliance running quietly. When a shock absorber wears out, develops internal cylinder leaks, or fractures, the washer will shake violently, throw imbalance codes, create loud thumping noises, or physically migrate across the floor.
Included Items
One individual front-load washing machine shock absorber.
