General Electric Washer Hub

The Hub Nut is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This component secures the inner tub to the drive mechanism, ensuring that it remains in place during the agitation and spinning cycles. This lock-down nut is reverse threaded, meaning that it is loosed by rotating it clockwise. For easier removal of the old nut, it is recommended to use the tub nut spanner wrench WX5X1325.

Symptoms of a bad Hub Nut include:

• Unusual noises like banging or grinding during the spin cycle.
• The inner tub moving excessively or becoming loose.
• Leakage around the center of the machine, indicating a seal failure possibly related to a loose hub nut.
• Inefficiency in spinning or agitating clothes properly.

Causes of a bad hub nut can include corrosion due to exposure to water and detergent, improper initial installation, or loosening over time from the vibration and movement of the washing machine.

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

The Hub Washer is an OEM part for GE washing machines, designed to fit between the transmission and the inner tub. The hub washer acts as both a seal and a buffer, reducing wear on both the transmission and the tub by absorbing some of the operational stresses.

Causes of damage to the hub washer often include normal wear and tear from repeated use, exposure to harsh detergents or water conditions that can degrade the material, or overloading of the washing machine, which puts additional stress on mechanical components.

Symptoms of a bad Hub Washer include:

• Leaks from the bottom of the washing machine 
• Unusual noises during the wash or spin cycles, such as grinding or squeaking
• Difficulty in agitating or spinning, which could be caused by excessive friction or misalignment due to a worn or damaged hub washer.

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

The Inner Tub Mounting is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It secures the inner tub to the washer's outer tub, providing stability and support during the wash and spin cycles. This mounting component is crucial for the proper alignment and operation of the washer's drum.

Causes of a bad mounting include excessive loads, continuous use over time, or physical damage due to impacts or misalignment. A faulty inner tub mounting can lead to significant operational issues and potential damage to other components.

Symptoms of a bad inner tub mounting include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during wash or spin cycles
• Unusual noises or banging sounds
• The inner tub appearing misaligned or loose
• Leaks from the washer during operation
