ABSTRACT:
A damper assembly for a washing machine includes a snubber bar, a damper cap, a snubber base, and a snubber base spring. The snubber bar has an upper portion supported at a corner of a washing machine body. The damper cap supports a lower portion of the snubber bar. The snubber base is held at a lower end of the snubber bar and is elastically inserted inside the damper cap by a damping spring. The snubber base spring is inserted in an inside circumference of the snubber base to expand the snubber base such that an outside circumference of the snubber base makes close contact with the inside circumference of the damper cap. Furthermore, at least a cut-away portion is formed in a circumferential surface of the snubber base for uniform distribution of an elastic force of the snubber base spring, thus improving contact between the snubber base and the inside circumference of the damper cap.
