4055367934 Genuine Shock Absorber with Pin 80N for Electrolux Group Washing Machines, Washer Drum Damper Replacement

This is a genuine Electrolux shock absorber, part 4055367934, rated at 80N and supplied with its mounting pin. Shock absorbers are fitted under the drum of a washing machine to soak up movement during the wash and spin. Order 4055367934 when the existing damper has lost its resistance or the machine has started banging on spin. Compare the number and the 80N rating printed on your old damper first.

Washing machine noisy on spin, check the shock absorbers

The drum in a washing machine hangs on springs at the top and is held steady by shock absorbers underneath. They work like the dampers on a car, slowing the drum's movement so it doesn't slam into the cabinet. As they wear, the friction material inside loses grip and the damper slides in and out with almost no effort. The machine then thumps, rattles or walks across the floor on spin, and the drum may sit lower or swing freely by hand. Leaving it can damage the tub, bearings and springs.

Replacing the shock absorber

Unplug the machine and turn off both taps before moving it. Access is usually through the bottom or the back panel, depending on the model. Note which way round the old damper is fitted, then push out its pins and remove it. Fit the new one the same way. Dampers wear at a similar rate, so replacing them as a set keeps the drum balanced.

Questions about this part

How many shock absorbers does my washer need?

Machines with shock absorbers usually have at least two, and they wear together, so it's common to replace all of them at once. Check how many are fitted under your drum and whether each one carries the 4055367934 number before ordering.
