Frigidaire Washer Shock Absorber Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Frigidaire front-loader sounds like it's trying to walk across the laundry room during spin cycle, you're dealing with worn shock absorbers. This hub covers the 5304485917 shock absorber kit — the replacement that fits most Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, and Kelvinator front-load washers from the ATF series. When these fail, you'll know it: violent shaking, loud banging during spin, and a washer that won't stay put.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your washer's model number — it's typically on a sticker inside the door frame or on the back panel near the bottom. This shock absorber kit (also replaces AP5590192, 134560400, 131268200, and 134564200) fits the ATF6000, ATF6500, ATF6700, ATF7000, and ATF8000 series. If your model starts with "ATF" and has four digits after it, there's a good chance this is your part. Verify the exact model against our compatibility list below to be certain.

About This Replacement Part

Frigidaire front-loaders use four shock absorbers mounted between the outer tub and the base frame. They're essentially heavy-duty dampeners that absorb the violent motion during high-speed spin cycles — we're talking 1,200 RPM or more. The shock absorber kit typically fails due to wear and tear from normal use, causing the washer to shake, move, or become noisy. One user described it perfectly: "the front loader washer was banging when it was running. noisy and shook a lot." That's the classic failure pattern. The rubber bushings inside deteriorate, the hydraulic dampening fails, and suddenly your washer sounds like it's coming apart. You'll need basic tools — pliers, screwdrivers, and a socket set. Fair warning from someone who's done this job: "Removing and installing pins took a lot more force than showed on the movie." Plan on 1-2 hours for the full replacement, and have some 1/4" extensions handy for pushing out those stubborn old pins.

Common Symptoms

• Shaking and Moving: Washer walks across the floor during spin
• Noisy: Loud banging or rattling during operation
• Spinning Issues: Inconsistent or slow spin cycles
• Leaking: Excessive movement can damage hoses and connections
• Will not agitate or drain: In severe cases, safety mechanisms prevent operation

Installation Tips from Real Repairs

Here's what actually works in the field. First, you'll need more force than the YouTube videos suggest — use a 1/4" extension with a 1/2" socket to push out the old pins instead of struggling with just pliers. Second, before installing new pins, thread an old bolt through the holes to align the bracket perfectly. This makes pin insertion way easier. Third, use channel locks to seat the new pins — they need to snap fully into place or they'll pop out under load. The job's rated moderate difficulty, but it's mostly about access and leverage, not complexity.
