Description
The Bolt is an OEM part for GE washers. This small but important part is a circular thin ring that distributes the load when tightened between a nut and the bolt head or workpiece surface. Proper washers are crucial to prevent damage and ensure secure, rattle-free connections during years of vibration.
Causes of a bad bolt can include wear due to normal mechanical stress, or deformation from overtightening bolts.
Symptoms of a bad bolt include:
- Noisy or loose connections between cabinet panels or internal components
- Stripped or damaged bolt threads
- Vibrations transmitted during operation
- Potential leaks around sealed areas
This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models. Replacing worn bolt washers helps reduce noise and maintain a well-built feel to the washer for long-lasting performance.
