Hi,

I have read many threads on this forum and was able to fix my GE washer which was making loud thumping noise due to the drum being off balance. The issue was the shock absorber and the Drum was getting off from 1 or 2 of the three absorber. We were able to put it back by screwing the shock absorber back in place. However the issue comes back every 6 - 8 months and the same solution worked.

I wanted to reach out to this group and look for a permanent solution as we have some tenants move into the house and we might not be able to fix it ourselves from time to time.

Does replacing the shock absorber help or should we replace the dampening straps (but they are not broken).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. PLEASE

Thanks

Hi Sbiyani,

You'd need to replace the shocks.

Here's the shock kit(comes with all 3 shocks) for your model you can order:

The instructions are relatively through, but you may need someone to help you, like a friend or relative.
