W10739670 Whirlpool Shock Absorber Kit for Washing Machines

Shock Absorber Kit for Washing Machines

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Shock Absorber Kit is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part intended for use in Whirlpool washing machines. It comes with two shock absorbers and the necessary mounting hardware, all designed to diminish vibrations and enhance the machine's stability during use.

Shock absorbers are positioned between the washing machine’s tub and the surrounding frame to effectively reduce noise and movement. Over time, the rubber components may degrade due to repeated vibrations caused by numerous washing cycles.

Indicators of a failing shock absorber kit can include:

- Noticeable increase in machine movement, shaking, or bouncing during the spin cycle.
- Distinctive loud noises such as banging or vibrating from the machine.
- Damage to the floor, like deformations or cracks, due to an imbalanced appliance.

This OEM part is suitable for use with various brands including Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
