The W10739670 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Front Load Washer Shock Absorber Kit (4/Pack) is a factory-certified replacement component designed to restore stability and smooth operation in front-load washing machines. Manufactured by Whirlpool to exact OEM standards, this kit includes four shock absorbers that control tub movement and reduce vibration during wash and spin cycles.

Available from Appliance Kingdom, this part ships across Canada, making it a reliable solution for homeowners, landlords, and professional technicians dealing with excessive washer movement, noise, or imbalance issues.

Function & Importance of the Shock Absorber Kit

In a front-load washer, shock absorbers are part of the suspension system that stabilizes the outer tub. Their primary function is to:

• Absorb vibrations and movement during high-speed spin cycles

• Prevent the washer from shaking, banging, or walking

• Maintain proper balance and drum alignment

• Protect internal components from excessive wear

The W10739670 kit includes four shock absorbers, which are designed to be replaced together to ensure even load distribution and consistent performance.

Using a Genuine OEM kit ensures the correct resistance and durability—critical factors that aftermarket parts often fail to match.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Shock Absorber

If your washer is experiencing any of the following problems, worn or failed shock absorbers are a likely cause:

• Washer shakes excessively or moves during spin cycles

• Loud banging or knocking noises

• Washer becomes unbalanced frequently

• Tub feels loose or unstable when pushed

• Poor washing or spinning performance

• Washer won’t spin properly or stops mid-cycle

These issues occur because worn shocks can no longer stabilize the drum, leading to uncontrolled movement and vibration.

Will replacing this part fix your issue?
Yes—if your washer is unstable, noisy, or out of balance, replacing the shock absorber kit is one of the most effective and commonly recommended fixes.
