General Electric Bearing Parts

The TOP BEARING W/ SEALS is an OEM part for GE dryers. It incorporates both the bearing and seals that facilitate smooth drum rotation at the top of the dryer cylinder. During cycles, the bearing supports the weight of the tumbling drum while the seals prevent hot air from escaping around the drum shaft. 

Symptoms of a faulty top bearing and seals include: 

• Excessive noise or vibration from the area housing the drum shaft
• Reduced drying efficiency as hot air leaks around the drum perimeter   
• The dryer tub potentially hanging crooked within the cabinet
• Difficulties with the drum rotating or staying on track at the top

Causes of failure are typically normal wear over thousands of cycles. Lint contamination or impact damage can also degrade the seals or disrupt proper bearing lubrication.

This GE replacement part is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models. 

Kit for outer tub. For bearing separately use WH2X1198.

This tub-bearing split ring is an OEM replacement part designed for GE washing machines. This part measures 2 inches in diameter. It is positioned between the inner and outer tubs to hold the tub bearing inside the outer tub. The Tub Bearing Split Ring not only supports the tub/hub assembly but also ensures smooth operation. 

Symptoms of a bad Tub Bearing Split Ring include:

• Excessive vibration or tub imbalance during spins  
• Loud clunking, knocking or grinding sounds  
• Reduced spin speeds or inability to achieve high RPMs
• Premature tub or bearing wear requiring replacement

Causes can be extended use over time which leads to wear and fatigue of the split ring material. Cracks or breaks can develop, reducing its stability and load-bearing capacity.

This genuine GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA and some Kenmore front-load models. 

NOTE: For the washer outer tub seal order WH02X10383.

This thrust washer is a small wear component used in washers to maintain proper spacing and smooth rotation between mating parts in the drive system. Replacing a worn washer helps reduce friction, noise, and premature wear.

• Maintains clearance and alignment between rotating components
• Reduces friction to support smooth agitation and spin
• Helps prevent squeaking/scraping noises and binding during cycles
• Replaces a cracked, worn, or missing washer that can cause excess play

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Access the drive/agitator area per your model's service information
• Match the original washer's placement and orientation during reassembly
• Inspect related spacers, bushings, or couplers and replace if worn
