1327442206 Genuine Shock Absorber Assembly for Electrolux Group Front Load Washing Machines, Also 132744220

Part 1327442206 is a genuine Electrolux shock absorber assembly for front load washing machines in the Electrolux group. You may also see it listed as 132744220. Shock absorbers sit under the drum and damp its movement, especially during spin. We don't hold a model list for this number, so confirm it from your machine's parts diagram or the label on the old absorber.

Front loader banging or moving on spin?

A front load washer's drum hangs from springs at the top and is steadied by shock absorbers underneath. The absorbers soak up the drum's movement so it doesn't hammer the cabinet as it speeds up. Once they wear out, the drum moves too freely. You'll often hear loud banging or thumping at the start of spin, see the machine shake or walk across the floor, or find marks inside the cabinet where the tub has struck it. Worn absorbers also make unbalanced load errors more likely and put extra strain on the bearings.

Changing shock absorbers

Unplug the machine, turn off the taps and remove the panel that gives access under the drum. Note which way up the old absorber sits before removing its pins or bolts. Most repairers replace the absorbers as a set, since the others have done the same work. Fit the new one, then run a spin cycle with a load and listen for knocking.

Questions about this part

How many shock absorbers do I need?

Front loaders normally use two, and some use more. They wear at a similar rate, so replacing them all together gives the best result. Count the absorbers in your machine before ordering, as this listing is for one assembly.
