Genuine replacement shock absorber / damper for Whirlpool front load washing machines, part number 1688106. Supplied as a pack of 2.

Loud vibration ramping up to spin Damper friction lining worn out
Drum knocks against the cabinet Damper failed or detached

ALWAYS REPLACE DAMPERS IN PAIRS
Fitting one new damper against one worn damper leaves the drum unbalanced and the new part will fail early. That is why this listing is supplied as a pair. Isolate power and turn off the water before starting, and check your model number against the list above before ordering.
