Instructions Unscrew and remove the front panel of your washer or other appliance by
removing the screws using a standard size screwdriver. Use an adjustable wrench
to loosen and remove the bolts securing the top cover to the washer turning
them counter clockwise. Lift the top cover by hand. Remove the three eye bolts underneath the washer and set them aside.
Undo the drive belt by shimmying it off of the pulley using your hands. Lift the front of the washer off the ground just enough to place a
4-by-4 piece of wood under the frame and under the pulley. This will allow you
to reach underneath the washer or appliance to replace the damper pads. Remove the old damper pads using rubbing alcohol or other solvent and
remove them from the machine. Use a utility knife or razor to assist in
removing the old pads. Use a clean cloth to wipe away residue that may prevent
the new pads from forming a strong bond once applied. Attach new damper pads to the machine base using a rubber adhesive.
Position the pads 3/32-inch under the center of the base, leaving 5/8-inch
between each damper pad. Apply adhesive to the pads and attach them to the
base. Allow several minutes to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone grease to the bottom of the pads using
a clean cloth. Return the drive belt and panels back on the washer or other
appliance.
