General Electric Washer Bearing Parts

The Tub Bearing is an OEM replacement part for GE washing machines. It is a critical component that supports the weight of the inner tub and allows for smooth rotation during the wash and spin cycles.

Causes of needing to replace the tub bearing include general wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive loads or unbalanced loads, or physical damage from impact or debris.

Symptoms of a bad tub bearing include:

• Loud grinding or rumbling noises during the wash or spin cycle
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the washing machine
• Leaks due to increased stress on the tub and other components

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

This tub-bearing washer is an OEM replacement part for GE washing machines. It is designed to keep your washing machine's inside tub spinning smoothly during cycles. The bearing Measures approximately 1 inch in inner diameter and 2 inches in outer diameter. 

Causes of a bad tub-bearing washer can include wear and tear from extended use. Exposure to vibrations during high-speed spins may cause fatigue of the washer material over time as well.

Symptoms of a bad tub bearing washer include:

• Excessive tub vibration or imbalance at high speeds
• Abnormal noises such as grinding or clicking sounds 
• Premature failure of the tub bearing itself
• Reduced spin capabilities or inability to hit maximum RPM

This OEM part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA and select Kenmore front-load washers.

This bearing supports the washer drum for smooth rotation and helps keep the tub aligned during spin cycles. Replacing a worn bearing restores quiet operation and reduces excessive drum movement. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction surface for the drum shaft to rotate on
• Keeps the inner and outer tubs properly aligned to prevent wobble
• Helps prevent metal-on-metal contact that causes grinding or rumbling sounds
• When paired with seals, helps limit water reaching the bearing area

• One bearing

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Expect partial disassembly of the washer cabinet and drum
• Specialized tools (bearing puller, press) may be required for removal/installation

This thrust washer cushions and spaces the washer transmission/tub interface to reduce wear and help maintain smooth spin and agitation. It's a small, replaceable wear part that restores proper alignment and reduces abnormal noise or vibration. What it does:

• Provides a wear surface between the transmission and inner tub to prevent metal-on-metal contact
• Helps maintain correct tub height and alignment for smooth spinning and reduced wobble
• Commonly replaced when worn, cracked, or missing parts cause knocking, grinding, or excessive vibration
• Supports consistent drive engagement and helps prevent premature transmission wear

• One thrust washer

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing the washer
• Drain the tub and secure or support the inner tub/tub assembly per service instructions to avoid injury
• Removal typically requires disassembling the washer cabinet and detaching the transmission or tub components;
• Use only OEM-specified parts and follow torque/clearance specs from the manufacturer when reassembling

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
