Washer shakes violently or vibrates excessively during the spin cycle due to worn shock absorbers no longer dampening tub movement.
Audible banging or thumping noises during operation caused by the drum contacting the washer cabinet when absorbers have failed.
Washing machine moves or 'walks' across the floor during spin cycles because the shock absorbers can no longer stabilize the tub.
The washer drum strikes the inner cabinet walls during the dehydration or high-speed spin cycle, causing noise and potential internal damage.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failed Washer Shock Absorber
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Excessive shaking or vibrating during the spin cycle
⚠️ Loud banging or thumping noises while the washer runs
⚠️ Washer "walking" or moving across the floor during operation
⚠️ Drum visibly hitting the washer cabinet during the dehydration/spin cycle
🔍 Diagnosis Tip: If the suspension springs are intact but the machine still vibrates violently, the shock absorbers are the primary suspect. Inspect all 4 units — they typically wear unevenly. Always replace all 4 at the same time to restore balanced dampening and avoid premature failure of the new parts.
