Description
The Rod Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It consists of the shaft and drive rod that connects the motor to the tub's agitator or impeller. As such, it plays an integral role in facilitating the transmission of power from the motor to drive the agitation and washing action.
Causes of a bad rod assembly can include cracks, bends, or breaks from stress and fatigue due to extensive use over time.
Symptoms of a bad rod assembly include:
- No agitation or spinning despite the motor running
- Excessive vibration and noise from the tub area
- Disconnected or slipping components between the motor and tub
This OEM GE replacement rod assembly is also compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models.
