General Electric Washer Dryer Combo Bumper, Bushing, Grommet Parts

The ball joint seat is the plastic socket for the washer's suspension rod ball. It supports the tub and allows smooth pivoting, helping control vibration and noise when the original seat becomes worn, cracked, or deformed.

• Provides a low-friction seat for the suspension rod ball
• Helps stabilize the tub and isolate vibration during wash and spin
• Wear can cause squeaks/creaks, knocking/banging, or a leaning/off-center tub
• Restores proper suspension movement for smoother, quieter operation

• Disconnect power and water supply; wear gloves and eye protection
• Support the tub before releasing spring/rod tension
• Access the suspension support per model; release the rod from the old seat and install the new seat fully into place
• Ensure the ball end is fully seated before reassembly and testing

This lid bumper cushions the lid of your top-load washer as it closes, absorbing impact to reduce slamming noise and protect the top panel's finish. Replace a worn or missing bumper to restore smooth, quiet lid operation. What it does

• Absorbs impact between the lid and cabinet to reduce slamming and vibration noise
• Helps protect the top panel finish from chips and scratches near the lid area
• Restores proper cushioning when the original bumper is missing, cracked, or flattened
• Common symptoms: lid slams or clunks when closing, increased noise, visible missing bumper

• 1 lid bumper

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Open the lid and pull the old bumper straight out of its mounting hole; needle-nose pliers can help if it's stuck
• Clean the hole and surrounding surface for a secure fit
• Press the new bumper fully into the hole until seated flush; for even cushioning, consider replacing both if your model uses two

A hinge bushing that helps the appliance door pivot smoothly and maintain proper alignment. Replacing a worn bushing restores stable door operation and reduces sticking, noise, and uneven closing. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction pivot surface for a door hinge
• Keeps the door aligned to prevent sagging or gaps when closed
• Reduces squeaks, binding, and irregular movement at the hinge
• Helps extend hinge and door hardware life by minimizing metal-on-metal wear

• One hinge bushing

• Disconnect power and remove or support the door before working on hinges
• Inspect hinge and surrounding hardware; replace any damaged components to ensure proper fit
• Install with correct orientation; do not force parts—misalignment can cause premature wear
• Use basic hand tools; follow OEM service instructions if available

This suspension rod support socket replaces the plastic cup the suspension rod sits in on a top-load washer. Replacing a worn socket restores smoother tub movement and helps reduce vibration and noise during wash and spin cycles.

• Supports the suspension rod at the tub/frame connection point
• Provides a low-friction pivot to stabilize the basket
• Helps reduce excessive shaking and out-of-balance banging
• Common signs of failure: cracks, squeaks/scraping, or the rod popping out

• Unplug the washer and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the suspension area per your model (remove top/front panel as needed)
• Support the tub, relieve tension on the suspension rod, swap the socket, and ensure the rod seats fully in the new socket
• Reassemble, level the washer, and run a test spin to check balance
