C00303589 OEM Shock Absorber Set of 2 suits Indesit, Ariston Front Load Washing Machines, Drum Damper Pair

This set of 2 OEM shock absorbers carries part number C00303589 and suits Indesit and Ariston washing machines. It's an aftermarket part made to the original equipment specification and replaces the original C00303589 dampers. Both come in one set, which makes sense because the pair under the drum wear together. With no models on file, check your model number or compare the length and mounting ends of the old dampers before ordering.

Washing machine banging or walking on spin

Shock absorbers sit under the drum and damp its movement, especially as the machine speeds up and slows down on spin. When they wear out, the drum moves too far and knocks against the cabinet. You may hear loud banging or thumping during spin, see the machine shuffle across the floor, or find the drum drops and bounces freely when you push it by hand. Worn dampers can also trigger repeated rebalancing that stretches out wash times and leaves clothes wetter than usual.

Part details

• OEM-grade aftermarket shock absorbers
• Set of 2
• Suits original part number C00303589
• For Indesit and Ariston washing machines

Replacing the shock absorbers

Unplug the machine, turn off the taps and pull it out to where you can reach the base or remove the front panel. Support the drum, then release the pins or bolts at each end of the old dampers. Fit the new pair one at a time so you don't mix up the mounting points. Make sure every pin locks in fully before running a spin test.

Questions about this part

Should I replace both shock absorbers?

Yes. They wear at a similar rate, and a new damper paired with a worn one leaves the drum unevenly supported. That's why this part comes as a set of 2. Replace both together for even damping and a quieter spin.
