Damper 12938100001322

A washer that shakes, bangs, or moves during the spin cycle may have a worn suspension damper. The damper works like a shock absorber between the wash tub and the washer cabinet. It controls quick tub movement and helps the drum remain stable as it spins. Replacing a weak or broken damper may support quieter, smoother operation. However, an uneven load, loose leveling feet, or damage to other suspension pieces can cause the same problems. Inspect the full suspension system before starting the repair. Disconnect the power, turn off both water supplies, and make sure the washer is stable before removing any panels.
