W11415987 Whirlpool Shock Absorber for Washing Machines

The Shock Absorber Washer, specifically designed for Whirlpool-brand washing machines, is a hydraulic component that mitigates vibrations from the outer tub. Whirlpool's product range includes brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and the company also manufactures items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Common indicators of a failing shock absorber in a washer are noisy operations during cycles, visible wear and tear, and potential damage to related parts over time due to increased stress. This product is intended to replace a single shock absorber.

The degradation of shock absorbers is typically due to repeated cycles of compression and the effects of solvents within the washer on natural rubber components. When the shock absorbers wear out, they become less effective at dampening vibrations.

Installing a genuine replacement shock absorber from Whirlpool can enhance the stability and quietness of the machine, thereby preventing issues with other components. This part is compatible with various models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
