We have a Kenmore front loader that need vib/shock replacement...

- I cannot find my model number on this site to find the part. Is there a mfg substitution part? I went on the Sears site, and found the following part number - 134564200. Is this the correct part number?

- Is it recommended to always replace both vib/shock absorber even though I only found one of them broken?

- How hard is it to replace them?

Thx!

This site does have problem with some Sears numbers. It seems Sears almost produces a different model number for every single machine.

The part number you listed does not seem like the right part. I would call the APP parts department and order from them. If they cannot confirm your model number you can tell them that you have a Frigidaire Gallery front loader manufactured for Sears.

Replacing the part is pretty easy, here is a service manual for your model. I would replace both while you are in there. Do it right and do it once is my motto.

Just so you know this model is prone to a bearing failure in the tub, so check to make sure yours is ok. If that fails the repair is usually so expensive and difficult that the machine is usually replaced.
