The wash tub inside a front-load washer hangs suspended inside the cabinet, and a set of these shock absorbers is what controls that movement — dampening the tub's vibration and motion during spin so it doesn't bang against the cabinet or shake the whole machine. These washers typically use four shock absorbers working together around the tub, and this listing is for a single individual shock absorber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time the internal damping material in these shocks wears out, or the shock can physically separate from its mounting point — something that can also happen if the washer is moved or shifted without the tub properly secured first. Because all four shocks on a given washer are typically the same age and under the same stress, if one has failed the others are often not far behind — many technicians recommend ordering four of this same part and replacing the full set together as a preventative measure. A worn or detached shock absorber produces a very recognizable symptom: excessive vibration, shaking, or banging noise during the spin cycle, sometimes strong enough that the washer visibly moves or \"walks\" across the floor. It directly replaces WH01X20826, AGE25988, AP5982139, AGE25988, EAP11701130, PD00037528, PS11701130.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eXPARTCO WH01X20826 Washing Machine Shock Absorber\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes GE front-load washers (and select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café, and Kenmore models built on the GE platform) that vibrate, shake, or bang excessively during spin, or seem to \"walk\" across the floor.

Wear work gloves. Access to the shock absorbers typically requires removing the top and\/or front panel of the washer to reach the tub suspension points — check your model's service diagram, since access varies. Photograph how each old shock absorber connects to the frame and the tub before removing anything, since these components are symmetrical around the tub and easy to reverse or mismatch. Disconnect the old shock absorber from its mounting point at both the frame and tub ends, and remove the mounting pin. Install the new shock absorber in the same position with its mounting pin, matching the original orientation. \u003cstrong style=\"display: inline; font-size: 15px; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal;\"\u003eIf you're only replacing one shock, be aware the remaining three original shocks are the same age and under the same stress — many technicians recommend ordering three more of this same part and replacing all four together to avoid reopening the washer again soon after.\u003c\/strong\u003e Once installed, gently rock the tub by hand to confirm even resistance at each corner before reassembling the panels. Restore power and run a full spin cycle to confirm the vibration, shaking, or banging noise has resolved.

If the tub wasn't properly secured or the washer was tilted significantly during a move, one or more shock absorbers can separate from their mounting point. Check that all four shocks are still properly connected at both ends before assuming a shock itself has failed — sometimes reseating a separated shock is all that's needed, though if it shows wear it's worth replacing regardless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eHow much vibration is normal, and how do I know it's actually the shocks?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eSome vibration during high-speed spin is normal, especially with an unbalanced load. But vibration strong enough to move the washer across the floor, or accompanied by a banging or knocking noise from inside the cabinet, points to a suspension problem rather than a simple unbalanced load.
