Customer Questions and Answers for Pump And Brake Assembly (Washer) by Ge

This pump and brake assembly drains water from the tub and applies the basket brake in your top-load washer. Replacing a worn assembly restores proper draining and a safe, prompt basket stop between cycles. What it does

• Pumps water out of the washer during drain and spin phases
• Applies the brake to stop the spin basket between cycles or when the lid switch is activated
• Helps reduce extended coast-down and stopping squeal
• Typical symptoms: standing water, slow/no drain, leaking at the pump area, basket coasts too long or squeals when stopping

• One pump and brake assembly

• Disconnect power and water supply; drain remaining water from hoses before service
• Access from the washer's underside; support the unit securely
• Transfer existing hoses/clamps to the new pump and secure all connections; if belt-driven, verify proper belt routing and pulley alignment
• Run a brief fill/drain test and recheck for leaks and proper basket stop
