Description

The UPPER BALL JOINT is an OEM component specifically designed for GE washers. It is found on the center post of the tub and allows the outer tub to pivot front to back during agitation cycles. This precise movement helps optimize cleaning performance by maximizing water and pressure distribution.

Causes of a bad upper ball joint can include wear and tear over time, damage due to impact or misalignment, or unbalanced loads that put added stress on the joint. 

Symptoms of a bad upper ball joint include:

  • Excessive noise or squeaking coming from the center post area
  • Hampered or sluggish movement of the outer tub during washing  
  • Leaks developing around the center post 

Replace yours today with this genuine OEM GE part for reliable front-to-back agitation and smooth cycle operation. This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
