My Frigidaire top-load washing machine still has its original snubber ring from 2003. I’m not even joking!
As any part on appliances, (especially ones that take on a huge task), it will eventually wear out over time. It doesn’t do it every time I use the machine, but there are instances where I can hear a loud banging noise after it’s done draining out the water.
I’m tired of putting my washer through a tremendous amount of abuse, so I’ve decided to look online to find a replacement— but I ran into an issue: Frigidaire has discontinued this particular part. I’ve looked everywhere on the internet to see if I could find this part, and it seems to me that this has become a rare part for my model. Now, I am well aware of the fact that manufactures have a bad habit of purposely discontinuing parts for older units; and I honestly believe that it hasn’t achieved their goal. A lot of people will fix their perfectly good machine unit it’s no longer worth it. They should also realize that machines that are meant to last a life time is like an investment that is long-term, (especially when the economy turns into shit).
I’m wondering if anyone knows a snubber ring that could be a substitute for my snubber ring (5308002385). I would really appreciate it if someone can help me get this issue resolved. Getting a crappy HE washer would be a disaster since not only do they give an inadequate amount of water, but they simply do not clean your clothes.
