Washer shakes violently, moves across the floor, or vibrates excessively during spin cycle due to worn or broken shock damper rods that can no longer absorb tub movement.
Thumping, banging, or knocking sounds from inside the washer cabinet during wash or spin cycles caused by the unrestrained tub striking the cabinet walls.
Washer displays unbalance error codes or repeatedly pauses to redistribute load because failed dampers allow excessive drum movement and cannot stabilize the tub.
Shock damper rod has physically separated from its mounting point or the dampening pin has broken, leaving the tub with no lower shock absorption support.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Shock Damper the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer vibrates excessively or walks across the floor during spin cycle
⚠️ Loud banging or thumping noise from inside the washer cabinet
⚠️ Visible cracking, oil leakage, or physical damage on the damper rod
⚠️ Damper has separated or dislodged from its mounting position
To diagnose: open the washer front panel and visually inspect each damper rod. Compress and release manually — a worn damper offers little resistance. Since dampers wear at similar rates, always replace all units simultaneously for balanced performance and to prevent premature failure of the new parts.
