WP8182703 Whirlpool Shock Absorber

100% Guaranteed genuine parts logo
This Front Load Washer Shock Absorber absorbs the vibrations and movements of the outer washer tub. Your washer has 4 shock absorbers – 2 in the back and 2 in the front. If your tub is shaking while in cycle, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. You'll remove the hose and the back panel behind the machine to access this part. Turn the old shock absorber 90 degrees on the top and bottom to release it from the appliance. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
