Washer Banging or Shaking Violently? Shock Absorber Kit 383EER3001J – Fix Drum Vibration Fast

If your LG or Kenmore front-load washer is banging, shaking excessively, or walking across the floor during the spin cycle, a worn shock absorber kit is almost always the cause. In most LG front-load washers, the suspension shock absorbers dampen the movement of the outer tub during agitation and spin. When they fail, the tub swings freely, causing violent vibration, loud banging against the cabinet, and in severe cases, error codes or mid-cycle shutdowns. ⚡ Common failure point in LG and Kenmore front-load washers — especially in high-mileage machines. Part 383EER3001J is the genuine OEM replacement shock absorber kit that restores proper tub dampening and eliminates excessive vibration immediately.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Washer powers on and completes cycles (no electrical fault)
• ✔ Drum spins and agitates — just with excessive movement or noise
• ✔ Leveling feet are properly adjusted and floor is solid
• ✔ ONLY problem is banging, shaking, vibration, or tub striking the cabinet during spin

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Washer bangs loudly during spin cycle
• Machine vibrates excessively or walks across the floor
• Drum visibly strikes the inner cabinet walls
• UE, OE, or unbalanced load error codes triggered by tub movement
• Spin cycle cuts out early due to excessive vibration detection

✔ If these symptoms match, the shock absorber kit is the most likely failed component in the suspension system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this shock absorber kit restores smooth, quiet spin operation immediately.
