This video provides step-by-step instructions for installing the shock absorber kit, replacing the shock absorbers, on Frigidaire washing machines. The most common reason for replacing a shock absorber is if it is broken, which causes the washer to vibrate more than usual, though the most common cause of washer vibration is that the leveling legs are not properly adjusted.
All of the information in this shock absorber kit installation video is applicable to the following brands: Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, Gibson, Westinghouse, Electrolux
Tools used: multi-screwdriver, Phillips head bit, pliers, deep well 6 point 1/2” socket, flat-head bit

10
You will need to detach the air chamber from the outer tub to be able to release the upper right mounting pin.
11
With the pins removed you can fully detach the old shock absorbers.
