Error codes are model dependent, so the same brand may have more than one listed.
| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| E32 | Bosch | Means an unbalanced load during the spin cycle, preventing the machine from spinning properly to protect itself. It is usually caused by a single heavy item, too few clothes, or a blocked drain filter. | Medium |
| E32 | Siemens | Means the machine has detected an unbalanced load and interrupted the spin cycle to prevent damage. It is usually caused by small loads, single heavy items such as blankets, or the machine standing unlevel. | Medium |

This is a genuine drum shock absorber for your washing machine.
When your washing machine drum kicks into a spin, it builds up a lot of force—and that’s where the shock absorber steps in. It helps keep everything steady by reducing vibrations and stopping the drum from bouncing around mid-cycle.
If your washer’s starting to shake, rattle, or make a racket during spins, chances are the shock absorber’s worn out. Swap it with this replacement part.
This washing machine drum shock absorber is from Bosch. You can also check other suitable brands from the list above.
Before ordering, please verify that this fits your model using our compatibility checker.
I have a Bosch washing machine which was shaking badly on spin cycle. The shock absorbers were worn out. New ones were pricey, but relatively easy to fit and solved the problem. Delivery from Ransom Spares was prompt.
I own a Siemens washing machine whose shock absorbers (after 15 years service) have failed. The replacements from RansomSpares are genuine manufacturer spares and, if you are reasonably flexible, not too difficult to fit. I also fitted new brushes to the motor which is also quite easy after removing the motor. The whole repair took about 3 hours without rushing. I am very pleased with the quality and service provided by RansomSpares and would not hesitate to use them again.
How many shock absorbers do I need for WM12P360GB/03 are they all the same or different part Nos. Thanks Chris.
Hi Chris, these are supplied individually, so you would need to purchase 3 to replace them all.
How many shock absorbers do I need to order for my WM12S494GB machine and should I replace any other parts at the same time?
Hi Adrian, there are 3 shock absorbers shown on the diagram for your model. I'd recommend contacting an engineer to see if they can advise if any other parts would be required.
