Re: Indesit WIDL126 very bouncy

Would worn shock absorbers cause the forward walking motion that I seem to be having?

Struggling to find the relevant shock absorbers online for this model – can anyone tell me where I might find them?

Haven’t had time yet to pull out and open up, but:

Sharp push down on inside front of drum bounces the drum twice before it settles.

Pulling drum forwards seems to replicate the vibration and walking forward motion.

Is that any help in suggesting most economical solution?

Thanks once again.

Martin,

Thanks. I’ll try that tonight.

How much would it cost to replace shocks and is it a DIY job?

Is new machine the most economical solution?

Hi Razor,

Thank you. It’s spinning fine and no unusual noises.

Machine is draining fine but I can certainly check pump filter if that may be a cause.

Two springs at top and shock absorbers at bottom remain attached, but how would I check if they need replaced?
