A drum shock absorber in a washing machine serves the purpose of reducing vibrations and stabilising the drum during the spin cycle. It absorbs the impact and movement generated by the rotating drum, minimising excessive shaking or bouncing of the machine. This not only helps in preventing damage to the washing machine components but also ensures smoother and quieter operation. The kit includes 2 shock absorbers and 2 plastic alignment dowels.The shock absorber features metal plates at the end of each one which help the shock absorber to attach securely and easily to the washing machine.
If you notice increased vibrations or excessive noise during the spin cycle, it could be a sign of a faulty shock absorber. Once the washing machine displays unstable movement or wobbling during operation, it is likely that the shock absorber needs to be inspected too.
This washing machine drum shock absorber kit is a genuine Indesit washing machine spare part. It also fits Ariston and Hotpoint washing machines.
If you need to replace the drum shock absorber on your Hotpoint washing machine, we've got the video for you.

Purchase and delivery of my new Hotpoint shock absorbers, easy and fast. Fitted and worked perfectly, no complaints. Would recommend the parts and use Ransom Spares again.
Drum shock absorbers great product easy to replace.
Our Hotpoint Washing Machine Model WMEUF 944 had developed a “shake rattle and roll”. I guessed it was one (or both) shock absorbers. These are so easy to fit and has resolved the problem on the machine. Literally a ten minute job - once you have pulled the machine from it’s hiding place and got access to the rear and underside.
Good quality parts, quick delivery and very easy to fit, for the cheapest price found.
My mums Indesit washer / dryer (IWDD7123) had developed the shake rattle and roll. Was pretty sure it was the shock absorbers. Ransom Spares website so easy to use for getting a spare part match (genuine Indesit) to machine. The parts are so easy to fit - just bear in mind you will have to tilt machine on side to do so. Guess it took about an hour (bulk of time was getting machine in and out of its hiding place). A spanner and a pair of pliers (long nose preferable) and job done. Fitting parts took perhaps 15 - 20 mins. Has solved problem completely. A VERY easy fix. Local trades (Hertfordshire) were quoting around £90.00 plus parts. Initially I went on another prominent spares website who informed me these shock absorbers were no longer made and no alternative for this machine . I did subsequently inform them that on their own site they listed the genuine spares and had them in stock at twice the price of Ransom!! So basically if your machine has the shake rattle and roll - worth trying this. Parts delivery was swift and efficient. WHY go anywhere else than Ransom?
Is this price for a set of 2 shock absorbers.
Hi Richard, I can confirm this kit is for 2 sock absorbers.
