It also crosses over to the Bosch numbers 00172688, 00448032, 00188222, 00361126, 00433761 and 00481932. The WAE20262AU and WAE22260AU are on file. Because it's a generic replacement, compare the length and the end fittings with the damper you're taking out before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBosch washing machine banging on spin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShock absorbers, also called dampers, sit under the tub and slow its movement as the drum speeds up and winds down. Once they wear out there's nothing to calm the tub, so the machine thumps against the cabinet, walks across the floor or shakes hard on spin. You may also hear knocking at the start and end of the spin cycle. A damper that slides in and out by hand with almost no resistance is finished. Check the tub springs and counterweight bolts at the same time, since loose ones make similar noises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric replacement for Bosch 11047540\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosses to 00172688, 00448032, 00188222, 00361126, 00433761 and 00481932\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits Bosch WAE20262AU and WAE22260AU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible aftermarket part, not made by Bosch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the shock absorbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the washer and turn the taps off. Dampers are best replaced as a set, because the one that hasn't failed has done the same work. The mounting pins are often a tight fit, so pliers or a small socket help to press them out. Fit each new damper the same way round as the one you removed and give the tub a push to feel the resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many shock absorbers do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost front loaders use two, one each side of the tub.
