Cabinet Vibration Absorber

The purpose of the cabinet vibration absorber is to provide a dampening effect to the washer during the spin cycle. By dampening the machine vibration, the washer is able to main- tain and achieve optimum spin performance. The stabilizer is attached to the inner door plug with two screws.

2.Open the door and remove the four screws along the inside lip of the door opening. The two that are located vertically, on ei- ther side of the door opening, secure the front panel to the front shroud assembly (Figure 5-3).Care should be taken when opening and closing the door with the screws removed.

3.Remove the door.
