H0020205577 Genuine Shock Absorber Pin for Fisher & Paykel and Haier Front Load Washing Machines, Damper Mounting Pin

Part H0020205577 is a genuine Haier pin used to mount a shock absorber in front load washing machines, including Fisher & Paykel front loaders that share Haier components. The pin holds the end of the shock absorber to the tub or cabinet, letting it pivot as the drum moves. Check your washer's model number and product code before ordering, and look at how your existing absorbers are fixed.

Washing machine banging on spin? Check the shock absorber pins

Front loaders use shock absorbers under the drum to calm its movement during wash and spin. Each absorber is held at its ends by pins or fixings. When a pin wears, breaks or works its way out, the absorber can come loose, and you'll hear knocking or banging, especially as the machine ramps up to spin. The drum may also hit the cabinet, the washer may walk across the floor, or the absorber may be found lying in the base. Worn absorbers can produce similar noise, so inspect them while the cabinet is open.

• Shock absorber mounting pin
• Used in Fisher & Paykel and Haier front loaders
• Holds the shock absorber to its mounting

Replacing the pin

Unplug the washer and turn off the taps before you start. Access is usually through a panel or from underneath, so you may need to tilt the machine back carefully with a helper, after draining any water. Note how the old pin sits and whether it has a clip or locking tab. Fit the new pin fully through both mounting points, and replace any worn absorbers while you're there.

Questions about this part

Should I replace the shock absorbers too?

If the absorbers move too freely when pushed by hand, have damaged ends or show heavy wear, it's worth replacing them at the same time. A new pin won't stop the noise if the absorber itself has failed.
