How worn drum dampers affect a Haier or F&P washer

Each shock absorber is a damper fixed between the base of the cabinet and the bottom of the drum. It slows the drum's movement so the springs don't let it bounce around. When the damping wears out, the drum moves too freely. Typical symptoms are heavy banging as the spin speeds up, a machine that shakes or shifts on the floor, marks where the drum has struck the cabinet, and loads left wet because the machine cut the spin short.

Swapping the dampers

Isolate the power at the wall and turn off the water before starting. Tilt or lay the machine only as far as the manual allows, and support the drum while the old absorbers are removed. Use new fixing pins if the old ones are cracked. Change the absorbers in pairs or full sets, and test with a balanced load on a full spin.
