Hotpoint Washing Machine Shock Absorbers

The dampers (suspension) that hold the tub and absorb vibration during the spin.

Signs it has failed

• The machine bangs, shakes or walks across the floor on spin
• The drum knocks against the casing with a normal load
• The tub sags or bounces freely when you push it down
• Oil residue around the dampers

Check before you buy

• Check the machine is level and the transit bolts were removed (if it is new)
• Press the tub down and release: it should return smoothly, not bounce repeatedly
• Look at each damper for leaks, wear or loose mounting clips

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your washing machine and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the machine and remove the top or back panel for access
2. Release the damper at the lower mount and the upper tub mount, noting orientation
3. Fit the new dampers, replacing them as a set
4. Check the tub moves smoothly and refit the panels

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Dampers are rated by load (force) and length. Match the part number or the length and rating printed on the old ones.
