Samsung Ecobubble washing 7kg machine shockers probably need replacing

roytom2

Model number WF70F5E0W2W
It’s probably my fault for overloading it, it’s just over 5 years old so the warrantee has expired... 

I suspect the shock absorbers have gone. Taking the back off I see they may be accessible from underneath by removing a thin plastic panel. The shockers are white in colour.
I’m looking for a UK supplier of these. Any suggestions? Does anyone know how to discover the part number for the shock absorbers? Searching on eBay (using the WM model number) shows a German seller but the shockers aren’t the same colour.
 Thanks

Have you tried espares

Thanks for that but I can’t see the shock absorbers on espares , they’re not listed as a part using my model number.
Buyspares claim to have it but confusingly they have others using my exact model number.

On Fiyo.co.uk it’s  shown as

SAMSUNG SHOCK ABSORBER FOR WASHING MACHINE DC66-00531C 

My machine seems to be in the list of machines it fits.

Question is it worth spending the money .

Or get a factory recon machine .

I'd say at £9.99 it's worth the repair and not bothering with a recon.

I'm just wondering why a 5 year old machine needs new dampers, it was always something I associated with neglected old machines. Perhaps they don't make'em like they used to.

I rather feel this applies to all brands these days, even Miele and Bosch.  They definitely don't make them like they used to in order to reduce costs at the expense of quality and longevity.
