General Electric Washer Dryer Combo Bearing Parts

The Top Bearing is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located near the top of the drum assembly, it further supports rotational movement during tumbling.

Symptoms of a faulty top bearing include:

• Emergence of grinding or scraping noises from the upper drum area
• Resistance or lack of responsiveness to smooth drum spinning  
• Potential impacts to interconnected spinning components  

As a bearing used repeatedly over time, standard wear from lint and dust accumulation affects function. Impacts can also compromise integrity on occasion. 

Causes typically include normal wear and tear from prolonged rotational cycles. Heavy loads may accelerate deterioration too by adding strain.

This genuine GE replacement bearing restores reliable support at the top of spinning cycles. Compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore dryers too, it extends equipment life through dependable bearing operation once installed.

This bearing seal helps protect a dryer drum or motor shaft bearing from lint, moisture and debris to keep the bearing turning smoothly and extend service life. It's a small replacement part used where a tight seal is needed around a rotating shaft. What it does:

• Seals the gap around a shaft to keep lint, dust and moisture out of the bearing area
• Helps maintain proper bearing lubrication and reduces premature wear
• Restores the intended barrier between the drum/motor shaft and the cabinet interior
• Can reduce noise or roughness caused by contaminated bearings when installed as part of a bearing service

• One bearing seal

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair
• Access may require removing panels, the drum or motor depending on model; follow manufacturer service instructions
• Inspect bearing and surrounding components and replace any worn parts to avoid repeat failure
• Use only OEM-recommended parts and avoid over-stressing the seal during 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
