{"product_id":"whirlpool-wp8182703vp-washer-shock-absorber","title":"Whirlpool wp8182703vp Washer Shock Absorber","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe WHIRLPOOL wp8182703vp is a genuine OEM shock absorber designed for front-load washing machines. This component mounts between the outer tub and the washer cabinet to dampen vibration and movement during the spin cycle, reducing noise and preventing excessive tub oscillation. A worn or failed shock absorber commonly causes the tub to bang against the cabinet at high spin speeds, leading to premature wear on surrounding components. Licensed appliance technicians and qualified service pros install this part as a direct replacement when the original absorber loses its damping capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shock absorber is intended for front-load washer applications where tub suspension is critical to machine performance. It is particularly relevant in residential laundry installations where the original equipment absorber has softened, cracked, or separated from its mounting points. The part carries alternate references including 8182703, 1173231, and SP7022447, indicating cross-reference use across multiple supply channels for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine OEM part sourced directly from WHIRLPOOL for assured fit and function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs tub vibration and lateral movement during high-speed spin cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for original equipment shock absorber — no modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-references alternate part numbers 8182703, 1173231, and SP7022447\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for front-load washer tub suspension systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement shock absorber for WHIRLPOOL front-load washing machines.

Wear work gloves throughout the procedure to protect hands from sharp cabinet edges and spring tension. This repair typically requires removing the front or rear panel of the washer cabinet to access the tub mounting points.
