H0020809886 Genuine Shock Absorber 80N for Haier, Fisher & Paykel Washing Machines, Drum Damper Haier 0020809886

H0020809886 is a genuine 80N shock absorber used in Haier and Fisher & Paykel washers, also listed under the Haier number 0020809886. Shock absorbers, sometimes called dampers, sit under the drum and soak up movement during the spin. The 80N figure is the damping force rating, and it needs to match the original. Compare the number and rating printed on your old absorber before ordering.

Washing machine banging on spin? Check the shock absorbers

A front loader's drum hangs on springs at the top and is steadied by shock absorbers underneath. Without good damping, the drum swings too far when it spins up, especially with an unbalanced load. Worn absorbers lose their resistance, and you'll notice loud thumping or knocking, the machine walking across the floor, the drum hitting the cabinet, or the spin stopping as the machine detects imbalance. Push down on the drum with the machine off. If it bounces freely instead of moving slowly and firmly, the absorbers are likely worn.

Fitting the new shock absorbers

Switch off at the wall and turn off the taps. Access is usually from the front or underneath, depending on the model. Note how each absorber is fixed, often with plastic pins or bolts top and bottom. Replace absorbers as a set so the drum is damped evenly, then run a spin cycle with a balanced load to test.

Questions about this part

How many shock absorbers do I need?

Many front loaders use two, and some larger machines use more. Count the absorbers in your machine and replace them all at once, as an old one alongside a new one leaves the drum unevenly damped. Check the quantity you need before adding to cart.
