General Electric Washer Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts

The Transmission Pulley and Nut is an OEM part for GE washing machines, designed to play a crucial role in the operation of the appliance. This component is directly involved in the movement and control of the washer's drum, translating the motor's power into the spinning and agitation needed for the washing process. The pulley system ensures that the machine operates smoothly, providing the necessary tension and motion to the belt that drives the drum.

Causes of these issues can range from natural wear and tear over time to improper loading of the machine, which can place undue stress on the mechanical components. Regular maintenance, including checking the integrity and alignment of the pulley system, can help prevent these problems.

Symptoms of a faulty Transmission Pulley and Nut include:

• The washing machine failing to spin or agitate properly
• Unusual noises during the spin cycle, indicating a misalignment or wear in the pulley system
• The washer drum moving more slowly or erratically
• Visible wear or damage to the pulley or nut

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

The 1/3 HP Motor Pulley & Nut is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This component is crucial for the proper operation of the washing machine, as it helps to transfer power from the motor to the washing drum, enabling the drum to spin and agitate during the wash cycle.

Over time, the motor pulley and nut can wear out due to constant use and the high-torque environment in which they operate. Additionally, they can become damaged from overloading the washing machine, causing the pulley to warp or the nut to loosen.

Symptoms of a bad motor pulley and nut include:

• The drum not spinning or agitating
• Unusual noises such as grinding or squeaking during operation
• The washing machine not completing cycles properly
• The pulley appearing visibly worn or damaged

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

The Motor Pulley & Nut is an OEM part for GE washing machines.

Causes of a bad pulley and nut can include wear from repeated use over time damaging threads, cracks forming in plastic pulleys, or loose, stripped, or lost mounting fasteners compromising power transfer.

Symptoms of a bad pulley and nut assembly include:

• Reduced or inefficient agitation and spin speeds
• Abnormal vibration or noise from the drive motor
• Complete inability to agitate or spin clothes
• Warm motor that indicates slippage problems
• Visible damage or cracking of plastic pulley components

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

The Drive Pulley Kit is an OEM part for GE washing machines. The drive pulley works by transferring the motor's power to the drum via the drive belt, ensuring the drum rotates properly during the wash and spin cycles.

Causes of a bad drive pulley can include wear and tear over time, damage due to overloading the washer, or issues such as misalignment or loose components.  

Symptoms of a bad drive pulley include:

• Loud, unusual noises during operation
• The drum not spinning or agitating
• The washer not completing cycles properly
• Visible damage or wear on the pulley

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

This idler pulley keeps tension on the dryer drum belt so the motor can spin the drum smoothly. Replacing a worn pulley can quiet squealing and restore consistent tumbling.

• Maintains proper belt tension so the drum turns under load
• Free-spinning pulley reduces friction and belt wear
• Common symptoms of failure: squealing/chirping noises, drum won't turn, belt slipping or fraying, burning rubber smell
• Helps prevent the belt from jumping off the motor or drum

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, shut off the gas supply
• Access typically requires removing the top/front panel and releasing belt tension to remove the drum
• Transfer any spacers/retainer from the old pulley to the new one; the pulley spins freely before reassembly
• Route the belt per the model's diagram and check belt alignment/tension before test run

This drive pulley mounts to the washer basket shaft and routes the belt from the motor to spin the drum. Replacing a worn pulley can stop squeal and belt slippage and help restore smooth, reliable spin performance.

• Transfers motor power via the belt to rotate the wash basket during spin
• Keeps the belt tracking correctly; damage can cause squealing, fraying, or slippage
• Typical symptoms: no or slow spin, belt repeatedly coming off, grinding/squealing noises, burning rubber smell, or visible pulley wobble

• Disconnect power and water before servicing; pull the unit forward for access
• Remove the rear panel to access the belt and pulley
• Slip off the belt, remove the center fastener, and replace the pulley
• Reinstall the belt on the grooves; verify alignment by hand-rotating the drum before testing
