https://www.ersatzteilshop.de/waschma... In this video we look at the shock absorbers of a washing machine. Washing machines usually have 2 - 3 shock absorbers. These dampers are usually quite simple friction dampers and, in conjunction with the springs on the tub, keep the washing drum in the right position. Of course, these friction dampers wear out over time. If the washing machine starts to run unevenly or the drum even hits the housing or the porthole, then this is a clear sign that the shock absorbers need to be replaced. In principle, it is of course advisable to replace the springs of the tub at the same time, as these are just as important as the shock absorbers. As already mentioned at the beginning, these assemblies only work as a unit and can only buffer the unwanted vibrations of the washing machine's drum in this way. The shock absorbers, like the springs, are not universal components. It is therefore essential to compare them with the type number of the washing machine in advance. The shock absorbers of the washing machine differ in the location of the respective fixing points and also in the length of the respective damper. In addition, the friction force is also of great importance. This is given in Newtons and is probably the clearest and most important distinguishing feature between different friction dampers. In order to be able to test the shock absorbers in an unremoved state, it is best to open the porthole. At this point it is often visually clear whether the dampers are broken. This is the case when you can see scratches or impacts on the inside of the porthole, for example. These scratches only occur if the washing drum can move outside the planned standard range. And it can only do that if the dampers are worn out. If you cannot see any scratches yet, but the washing machine is running unevenly or rumbling, you can make the washing drum vibrate or press it down by hand with the porthole open. The drum should compensate for this vibration in 2 - 3 movements. However, if the drum vibrates more often, this is a very clear indication of defective shock absorbers. If you are still not sure at this point whether the shock absorbers of the washing machine are broken, you can also remove the lid of the washing machine and press the entire tub down from above with your hand. This is the clearest way to see the subsequent vibration. Only as a last resort would you have to remove the shock absorbers to test them by hand. A significant pulling force must be required to pull the dampers apart. In the video, however, we illustrate this test a little more clearly. If you now come to the conclusion that you need to replace the shock absorbers, you can find the right dampers for your washing machine here: https://www.ersatzteilshop.de/waschma...
