Frigidaire 137412601 Washer Shock Absorber

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 137412601 is a genuine OEM shock absorber designed to dampen vibration and control movement of the outer tub in front-load washing machines and washer/dryer combo units. Measuring 9.96 inches in length and 2.40 inches in width, this single shock absorber mounts between the drum assembly and the machine frame, working alongside other suspension components to stabilize the tub during wash and spin cycles. At 0.20 pounds, it is a lightweight but critical suspension component. Appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part when excessive vibration, noise, or cabinet movement indicates worn or failed suspension dampers.

This shock absorber is suited for residential washing machines and washer/dryer combo units. It is used in applications where the original suspension system has degraded, resulting in increased noise, drum instability, or structural stress on the cabinet during high-speed spin cycles. Replacing a failed shock absorber restores balanced drum operation and reduces wear on surrounding components. This part is sold as a single unit, so technicians should inspect all shock absorbers in the machine and replace in sets when wear is uneven or multiple units are at end of service life.
