Shock absorbers in LG washing machines fail for various reasons. Their main task is to protect the structural components of the washing machine from vibration, so it is mainly because of vibration that they break. Depending on the model, the drum makes 700-1800 revolutions per minute. This is quite an impressive load, and if you also take into account the rotational force, it is not surprising that the contacting parts, namely, the shock absorbers, can break. And this happens quite often. They cannot be repaired - you can only replace the shock absorbers with new ones.

Why are shock absorbers needed in a washing machine?

The LG washing machine requires regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn parts. One of these important parts is the shock absorbers. They play a key role in ensuring the stability and reliable operation of the washing machine, preventing excessive vibrations and noise.

The shock absorbers in the LG washing machine perform an important function - they soften the vibrations of the drum during washing and spinning, ensuring smooth and stable operation of the equipment. Without them, the equipment would be subject to strong vibrations. This could lead to a number of negative consequences:

• Rapid wear of the drum bearing. Without cushioning, the load on the bearing increases significantly. The result will be its rapid wear and failure.

• Deformation of the rubber hatch seals. Vibrations can damage the seals, significantly worsening the tightness of the washing machine. As a result, leaks will occur in its operation.
• Loss of tightness of connections: Strong vibrations can weaken the connections between different parts of the housing. This situation also increases the risk of leaks.
• Worn case panel joints. Poor shock absorption can cause the joints between case panels to weaken and fail. This will affect the overall strength and durability of the device.

When do shock absorbers in an LG washing machine need to be replaced?

Replacing shock absorbers on an LG washing machine is necessary in several situations:

• Squeaking and humming during washing. If the device starts to make unusual sounds, this may indicate wear of the shock absorbers.
• Jumping during spinning. When the machine starts to "jump" or vibrate strongly during spinning, this is a clear sign that the shock absorbers are not performing their function.
• Tight drum. If it is hard to turn, then the possible problem is a lack of lubrication in the shock absorber struts.

Stages of replacing shock absorbers of the LG washing machine

The process of replacing shock absorbers requires certain skills and experience. Our qualified technicians perform this work in several stages:

• Diagnostics. The technician performs a primary diagnostic to make sure that the problem is really related to the dampers. This includes checking for vibrations, noises and other signs of wear.
• Dismantling. After confirming the problem, the specialist disconnects the equipment from the network and water supply. Then he carefully removes the rear panel to access the dampers.
• Removing old shock absorbers. Worn parts are dismantled using a specialized tool.
• Installing new shock absorbers. They are installed in place of the old ones. At the same time, the technician checks their correct fastening and functioning.
• Assembly and testing. After installing the shock absorbers, the washing machine is reassembled and connected to the network. The service engineer conducts a test run to check the correct operation.
