General Electric Hub

The Hub Nut is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This component secures the inner tub to the drive mechanism, ensuring that it remains in place during the agitation and spinning cycles. This lock-down nut is reverse threaded, meaning that it is loosed by rotating it clockwise. For easier removal of the old nut, it is recommended to use the tub nut spanner wrench WX5X1325.

Symptoms of a bad Hub Nut include:

• Unusual noises like banging or grinding during the spin cycle.
• The inner tub moving excessively or becoming loose.
• Leakage around the center of the machine, indicating a seal failure possibly related to a loose hub nut.
• Inefficiency in spinning or agitating clothes properly.

Causes of a bad hub nut can include corrosion due to exposure to water and detergent, improper initial installation, or loosening over time from the vibration and movement of the washing machine.

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

The Hub Washer is an OEM part for GE washing machines, designed to fit between the transmission and the inner tub. The hub washer acts as both a seal and a buffer, reducing wear on both the transmission and the tub by absorbing some of the operational stresses.

Causes of damage to the hub washer often include normal wear and tear from repeated use, exposure to harsh detergents or water conditions that can degrade the material, or overloading of the washing machine, which puts additional stress on mechanical components.

Symptoms of a bad Hub Washer include:

• Leaks from the bottom of the washing machine 
• Unusual noises during the wash or spin cycles, such as grinding or squeaking
• Difficulty in agitating or spinning, which could be caused by excessive friction or misalignment due to a worn or damaged hub washer.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Inner Tub Mounting is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It secures the inner tub to the washer's outer tub, providing stability and support during the wash and spin cycles. This mounting component is crucial for the proper alignment and operation of the washer's drum.

Causes of a bad mounting include excessive loads, continuous use over time, or physical damage due to impacts or misalignment. A faulty inner tub mounting can lead to significant operational issues and potential damage to other components.

Symptoms of a bad inner tub mounting include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during wash or spin cycles
• Unusual noises or banging sounds
• The inner tub appearing misaligned or loose
• Leaks from the washer during operation

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

The Nut Hub is an OEM replacement part for GE top-load washing machines. This component plays an integral role during the spin cycle, transmitting rotational force from the motor to the tub for the removal of water from clothes. The Nut Hub connects directly to the drive shaft and incorporates several mounting points to securely join additional drum parts.

Causes of a bad Nut Hub can include cracks, fractures, or stripped threads due to overloading or excessive strain during spinning. Loose or ineffective connections between the Nut Hub and other components impair power transmission.

Symptoms of a bad Nut Hub include: 

• Vibrations or shaking during the spin cycle
• Noisy or grinding sounds 
• Incomplete water removal, resulting in soggy clothes
• Failure of the tub to rotate 

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

This shifter hub connects the drive system to the agitator/spin mechanism in the washer, allowing the machine to shift between wash and spin modes reliably for proper cleaning and water extraction.

• Transfers motor/gearcase motion to the basket during spin and to the agitator/wash plate during wash
• Worn or cracked hub can cause no spin, weak/erratic spin, grinding or clicking noises, or poor wash performance
• Designed to fit the original drive components for dependable shifting between cycles

• Unplug washer and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access is typically from the bottom; remove drive components as needed to reach the hub
• Inspect mating parts (splines, clutch/shifter, belt, pulley) for wear and replace if damaged
• Tighten fasteners to spec and verify smooth basket engagement by hand before reassembly
