[Lifetime Warranty] DC66-00470A & DC66-00470B Washer Shock Absorber Replacement - Compatible with Samsung Washing Machines - Replaces AP4206426 2020946 DC66-00650C DC66-00650D PS4212219 - Pack of 4

DC66-00470A & DC66-00470B Washer Shock Absorber Replacement

Key Features

• Enhanced Vibration Dampening:Engineered to absorb the kinetic energy of the wash tub during high-speed spin cycles, maintaining machine stability and reducing noise.
• Reinforced Piston Design:Features a high-friction internal dampening system that provides consistent resistance to prevent the tub from striking the cabinet.
• Durable Composite Construction:Manufactured from heavy-duty polymer and metal components to withstand the constant mechanical stress of large laundry loads.
• Complete Set of 4:Includes a full set of replacement dampers to ensure even weight distribution and restored balance to the suspension system.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Samsung:Fits a wide range of front-load models including the WF200, WF300, WF400, and VRT series.
• Kenmore / Kenmore Elite:Fits models starting with the 592.XXXXX prefix.
• Mounting Specification:Designed for machines utilizing the pin-and-eyelet mounting configuration.

When to Replace

• Excessive Shaking:The washer vibrates violently or "walks" across the floor during the spin cycle.
• Loud Banging:A loud thumping noise occurs as the tub hits the sides of the washer frame.
• DC Error Code:The control panel displays an "unbalanced load" error even when the laundry is distributed evenly.
• Visible Leaking:Oil or grease is visible on the shock absorber shaft, indicating the internal seal has failed.
• Loss of Resistance:If the shock can be easily compressed and extended by hand with little to no resistance.

Installation Tips

• Accessing the Dampers:Depending on the model, access may require removing either the front or rear panel of the washing machine.
• Pin Removal:Use pliers to depress the locking tab on the plastic mounting pins to slide them out; do not force them, as they can be reused if not damaged.
• Replace in Sets:Always replace all four shock absorbers at the same time to ensure uniform dampening and prevent premature wear on the new parts.
• Lubrication:Avoid adding extra grease to the shock shaft; these are factory-calibrated with a specific friction coefficient for optimal performance.
• Leveling:After installation, ensure the washing machine is perfectly level on the floor to prevent unnecessary strain on the new suspension components.
