LG Washer Shock Absorber (ACV72909503)

The LG Washer Shock Absorber helps steady the wash tub during agitation and spin. It controls movement by damping vibration and limiting how far the tub can travel inside the cabinet. This helps reduce shaking, noise, and stress on other washer parts.

Failure often comes from wear over time. The internal damping can weaken, or the ends can loosen or crack. Heavy loads, frequent oversized loads, and repeated out-of-balance cycles can speed up wear. When damping drops, the tub can move too freely and the washer may not stay stable.

Common symptoms that point to a problem with this part include:

• Washer shakes hard or “walks” across the floor during spin
• Loud banging or knocking from the tub hitting the cabinet
• Frequent out-of-balance errors or repeated attempts to redistribute the load
• Spin cycle stops early or will not reach full speed due to excessive vibration
• Tub sits off-center or swings too far by hand when the washer is off
