How we confirm it first

What the repair involves
Replaced as a set so the tub stays balanced.
Why it fails
Dampers lose resistance over years of high-speed spins, especially with frequent heavy or unbalanced loads.
How to make it last
Keep the washer level, wash bulky items in balanced loads, and remove shipping bolts on new machines.
Repair or replace?
Usually worth it.
