The Shock Absorber is a critical part of the Washer/Dryer Combo, crafted by Whirlpool, and compatible with a variety of brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also produces parts that fit Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. The Suspension Spring, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, is vital for stabilizing the washing machine's tub as it spins. It effectively reduces vibrations, ensuring smooth operation by absorbing and counteracting movement during machine use.
With time, the Suspension Spring might become stretched, lose strength, or suffer from rust and corrosion. It can also break due to heavy loads or excessive vibration. A failing Suspension Spring may present several symptoms: increased vibration, strange noises while spinning, or a tub that sags or tilts, potentially causing the machine to shift from its original spot during operation.
This Whirlpool OEM component is also engineered for use with other models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore washing machines, ensuring a precise fit.
