H0020808145G Genuine Shock Absorber 60N for Haier Front Load Washing Machines, Tub Damper Replacement

Haier's genuine shock absorber H0020808145G is a 60N tub damper for front loading washing machines. It's the G version in the H0020808145 family, which includes dampers rated at other forces and used across Haier and Fisher & Paykel front loaders. The 60N rating must match your machine, so check the number and rating printed on the old damper before ordering. No model list is on file for this one.

Washer shaking, walking or banging on spin?

Shock absorbers sit under the tub and slow its movement as the drum spins and the load shifts. Inside each one, friction pads or fluid resist movement. Once that resistance wears away, the tub bounces freely, so the machine shakes, walks across the floor, bangs against the cabinet or keeps stopping with an unbalance code. Pressing down on the tub and letting go is a quick test. If it bounces more than once or twice, the dampers are likely worn.

Fitting new shock absorbers

Unplug the machine and close the taps. Most dampers are reached through the front kick panel, the back or the base. Release the pins or bolts at each end, compare the old damper's length and rating with the new one, then fit it the same way up. Replace dampers in pairs so both sides resist evenly, and run a spin to check the tub settles quietly.

Questions about this part

Does the 60N rating matter?

Yes. The N figure is the damping force in newtons. A damper that's too weak lets the tub bounce, and one that's too stiff passes vibration into the cabinet. Fit the 60N rating listed for your model or printed on your old damper.
