8583794303013 Generic Shock Absorber suits Electrolux Lifestyle Front Loader Washing Machines, Tub Damper

This generic shock absorber is an aftermarket replacement for Electrolux part 8583794303013, made to suit Electrolux Lifestyle front load washing machines. Shock absorbers, sometimes called dampers, sit under the tub and slow its movement during spin. Front loaders normally use more than one, so check them all while the machine is open. Match the fittings and length with your old damper before ordering.

Electrolux front loader banging in spin?

A front loader's tub hangs from springs at the top and is held steady by shock absorbers underneath. The dampers work like a car's shock absorbers, taking the energy out of the tub's movement when the load is out of balance and as the drum speeds up. Worn dampers lose their resistance, so the tub crashes against the cabinet, the machine shakes or walks across the floor, and spin speed may be cut back. A damper that compresses with almost no resistance by hand has worn out.

Changing front loader dampers

Switch off at the wall, unplug the washer and turn off the taps. Dampers are usually reached by removing the front or bottom panel, or by tipping the machine back with a helper. Note the orientation of the old damper and its pin or bolt fixings. Replacing them as a pair gives an even result. Run a full spin to test.
