Over time, the dampers can become stretched or even damaged from the constant tension they face during the washing cycles. If the shock absorber suspension leg breaks, the washing machine will vibrate excessively and make lots of noise since it’s now unbalanced. Damaged or worn suspension systems can result in internal damage and leakages, making this part ideal for maintaining the condition of your washing machine. Please check the model fit list to ensure this part is correct for your model.
