ACV73730501 Genuine Lid Friction Damper Pair for LG Top Load Washing Machines, Left and Right Side Hinge Dampers

ACV73730501 is a genuine LG friction damper assembly supplied as a pair, one for the left side and one for the right. In LG's numbering it sits with the lid hinge dampers used on LG top load washing machines, the parts that give the lid its slow, controlled close. Our record has no model list for this number, so compare ACV73730501 with your old dampers or your washer's parts list before ordering.

Signs the lid dampers on an LG top loader have worn

LG top loaders with a soft-close lid use a friction damper at each hinge. The dampers resist the lid's weight so it lowers gently instead of dropping. As they wear, the lid starts to fall faster, slams onto the cabinet, won't stay open part way, or feels uneven from side to side. A slamming glass lid can chip or crack, and repeated knocks can upset the lid lock. Replacing both dampers together keeps the lid balanced, and this part conveniently covers both sides.

Fitting the damper pair

Unplug the washer before you start. Keep track of which damper is made for each side. Support the lid while the old dampers come out so it can't fall on your hands. Fit both new dampers, then open and close the lid several times and check it lowers smoothly and evenly from any height.

Questions about this part

Do I get both dampers?

Yes. LG supplies ACV73730501 as a pair covering the left and right sides, so both hinges are done in one job. Check your old parts or your washer's parts list first, as LG makes more than one damper pair.
