A damper for a washing machine includes a tube body, a damping block and a rod, the damping block extends into the tube body from one end of the tube body, the rod connects the damping block and extends out of the tube body It also includes a compression spring, a first blocking portion, and a second blocking portion, the compression spring is limited between the first blocking portion and the second blocking portion, the first blocking portion is provided on the rod, The second blocking portion is provided on the tube body. By adding a compression spring to the ordinary damper, to limit the unbalanced vibration caused by excessive impact, it plays a role in stabilizing vibration and absorbing impact. After using the utility model, it can effectively improve the unbalanced state of the force, reduce the vibration amount of the whole cabinet body and the cylinder body; balance the impact load to reduce the probability of displacement of the whole machine.
