Whirlpool Shock Absorber W10822553 OEM Part

Shock Absorbers for Washer/Dryer Combinations

If your laundry appliance exhibits movement or vibrations while operating, this component offers a solution. Whirlpool manufactures these components for several brands, such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, as well as for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

The Shock Absorber is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component crafted for Whirlpool washing machines. It mitigates vibrations and noise by cushioning the tub's motion during the spin cycle. By absorbing operational energy, it not only enhances the machine's stability but also extends its life span. Well-functioning shock absorbers are essential for optimal performance and to prevent damage to other machine components.

Common reasons for a shock absorber's malfunction include normal wear over time, handling heavy or imbalanced loads, and physical damage from relocation.

Indicators of a defective Shock Absorber include:
- Amplified noise and vibration during the spin cycle
- The washer shifting or moving on the floor
- Accelerated wear on other parts due to excessive movement

This OEM component is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears branded appliances, efficiently addressing issues related to undue shaking and movement.
