Bosch00642112 Genuine OEM Damper for Bosch Washers

These dampers fit, are OEM but must be a newer design, and are a huge upgrade over the originals that were in my 2006 Bosch Nexxt 500. Took minutes to change out. A few tips, if your dampers were as old as mine, there was no resistance at all, lots of bouncing and banging. More than likely, if the drum spins smoothly by hand, no whining noise, it is probably just the dampers. There is a particular video posted by an appliance pro that is 9:51 long that I found when researching banging noises in a washing machine , it won't let me post a link, but that one was the most helpful videos in figuring out what each part inside a washing machine does, and how easy it is to fix, hopefully this description will help you find it. Machine works like new.

I have a Bosch Vision 300 (WFVC3300UC/20).NOTE: This vision 300 model has 3 shocks. One on each side and one in the rear.I couldn't find exact OEM replacements anywhere and I was skeptical of auction-site parts with sub-standard bushings and unknown build quality. The original dampers were stamped from SUPRA with part #062 30027. These are SUPRA #062 30057. They are the same length and have the metal bushings like the original part. The visible difference is the wide area in the middle (where the steel goes into the plastic) That area is larger on the new part. This may be a larger oil reservoir but, I have no idea. They fit perfectly and solved the severe vibration issue during spin. The old shocks had visible oil/grease all over the steel shaft so it was obvious they had failed.Installation notes:Access to all 3 shocks was gained by removing the rear panel. I did disconnect the drain hose under the tub (leads to the pump) to make accessing the shock on one side of the machine easier (have a towel handy if you choose to do this) and I also had to remove the actual upper shock mount when replacing the rear shock because there wasn't enough clearance to slide the bolt out otherwise. Overall, very easy job.

worked very well and solved the vibration problem.

I installed these 2 dampers by removing the rear panel. One was easy to replace, the second needed patience as space was limited. But it worked and drum is well supported. Really appreciate the rubber mounts built into the thru mounts on both ends.

Exact replacement for my 18 year old Bosch front load washer. Works perfectly and no more noisy washer.

If your dampers are shot on your old Bosch Vision 500 series washing machine, you may find that the replacement part is not available anywhere. I've even seen repair website say that someone has no options for theirs. Actually, this is a drop-in replacement even though the part number is different. Buy it and be happy with your newly not banging washing machine.

I installed these on a Bosch Nexxt 500 series washer that I'm in the process of reconditioning. These are definitely OEM shocks and a huge improvement from what was on there originally. If your old shocks slide in and out with little to no resistance, you found the problem and need to replace them. This machine wouldn't go into high-speed spin, and the tub shook like crazy in low spin.

Item was easy to install and solved the problem of noisy spin cycle. Very good quality product.
