ACV73990001 LG Washing Machine Damper Assembly

The Washing Machine Damper Assembly is a standard replacement part for LG washing machines, also compatible with certain Kenmore models. This internal component is crucial for reducing noise during the machine's spin cycles. It utilizes multiple rubber gaskets and pads designed to absorb vibrations and dampen the noise produced by the moving parts like the tub, basket, and motor.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning damper assembly are:

- Noticeably loud noises during spin and drain cycles
- Unusual knocking or clanking sounds from within the appliance
- Vibrations spreading to nearby cabinets or walls

The degradation of the damper assembly often results from wear and tear on the vibration pads, which may develop cracks, tears, or become loose, diminishing their ability to effectively absorb sound. Additionally, frequent use of heavy loads can exacerbate the wear on the assembly.

This component is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, ensuring compatibility and performance with your LG or specific Kenmore washing machines.
