Shock Absorber Kit
PartSelect Number PS3508101
Manufacturer Part Number 5304485917
This shock absorber kit is an authentic OEM part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer. The kit includes two dual-stage shock absorbers, one spare shock mounting pin, and four locking nuts. These shock absorbers keep your front-load washer from shaking vigorously by absorbing and reducing vibrations from the wash and spin cycles of your appliance. This kit comes with two shock absorbers because it is recommended to replace both at the same time, as they wear at the same rate. To access your washer shock absorbers, simply remove the lower access panel after disconnecting the power to the appliance.

Installation Instructions
Douglas from Medical Lake, WA
Both vibration shock absorbers broken
removed 2 screws and removed top access cover. removed 2 screws and removed front access cover. removed 4 retaining pins (one with nammer and punch because it was stuck) connected lower ends of new shocks with plastic pins, extended each shock to slip fit and connected upper ends to wash tub mounts. Reinstalled panels. I wish I could say that it all went well from there but......when the shocks broke, apparently the hit the motor took was enough to cause an electronic failure of the speed cycle control chip. Now Im waiting for that part.

Single Spring with Insulators
Remove water connections
Pull out washer to have sufficient room to access the back and the top.
Removed the top panel (4 screws at top- back)
Removed the back panel (a lot of screws)
Removed small metal retainer strip on top edge over broken spring
Removed broken spring, hung top of new one.
Pulled up tub to as I stretched out the spring to mount spring to tub
From the back, unplug and remove 2 crews holding the electronic motor control unit from lower left
For both shocks:
This was the most "difficult" part - locate the 2 plastic retainer pins holding the shock, locate the tooth (or tab) holding the pin in place and push the tab in (I had to use some leverage - its stiff plastic covered in grease - a spare screwdriver handle helps to push the tab down).
After pins are removed, shock just pulls out (weight of the tub handled by the suspension springs).
Replace with new shocks (1 pack has a pair), replace pins.
Reinstall motor control unit.
Reassemble frame. reattach water supply lines.
I had to plug in the washer, activate a cycle, then unplug/plug in the washer again.
It helps to have a screwdriver attachment for a variable speed drill to handle all of the screws.
All told - about 45 minutes, most of this spent on removing the pins. Read more...

This is a single spring with insulator, but you may also know it as a suspension spring. It is a part for your washing machine. If your tub is no longer stable, which would cause shaking, moving, and excess noise, you may need to replace this part. The tools you will need in order to make this repair include a Phillips screwdriver and a pair of locking pliers. You will find the insulator on each end of this piece. We recommend replacing both springs in your appliance at the same time to ensure even wear.

The snubber ring on your washing machine mounts at the base, under the support. If you notice that your washing machine is vibrating, shaking, or moving during the wash cycle, you may need to replace the snubber ring. Because the snubber ring is located under the tub of the washing machine, you will need to remove the front panel to access it. To protect your hands when removing the snubber ring, consider using a bent coat hanger or a sturdy wire with a hook to pull the old snubber ring free. Be sure to disconnect the power and water sources for the washing machine before you begin this repair.
