11013282 Genuine Shock Absorber for Bosch, Siemens Washing Machines, Sold Singly, BSH Front Loader Drum Damper

Sold as a single unit, 11013282 is a genuine BSH shock absorber for Bosch and Siemens front loaders. Dampers like this sit under the tub and take the energy out of its movement through every wash and spin. If your machine uses two and both are tired, add two to your order. No model list is held against 11013282 yet, so confirm the number with your parts list or the E-Nr on the machine's label.

How a worn shock absorber shows up in a front loader

Inside the damper, a friction pad or piston resists movement in both directions, so the tub settles quickly rather than bouncing. That resistance fades with age. Some owners first notice a louder spin, while others see the machine creep forward or the door area shake. A simple test is to unplug the machine, push down hard on the top of the drum through the door and let go. A healthy suspension stops almost straight away, while worn dampers let the tub bob up and down several times.

Fitting tips for a single damper

Switch off and unplug at the wall, and close the water tap. Drain any water left in the machine through the pump filter before you tilt it. Get access to the bottom of the tub, release the fixing at each end of the old damper and hold it side by side with the new one to compare. Fit it in the same orientation, then run a short spin to test.
