Hotpoint Brake & Clutch Parts

The Clutch is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This component is essential for engaging the washer’s transmission to facilitate the proper spinning and agitating of the drum during wash cycles.

Over time, the clutch can wear out or become damaged due to frequent use, heavy loads, or mechanical stress. Replacing a faulty clutch is crucial for maintaining the washer’s performance and efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad clutch include:

• The washer failing to spin or agitate
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle, such as grinding or whining
• Clothes remaining wet after the spin cycle
• The drum not rotating smoothly or at all

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

The Mode Shifter & Shaft Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE washing machines. It is a mechanical component located inside the washer tub that allows for shifting between agitation, spin, and other cycles. The mode shifter and shaft assembly receive input from the control system to precisely change the operational mode at designated points in the cycle.

Causes of a bad mode shifter & shaft assembly include worn out or damaged internal gears, stripped or broken shafts, or a loss of integrity in components that restrict smooth shifting between modes.

Symptoms of a bad mode shifter & shaft assembly include:

• Inability to start or change wash cycles
• The washer getting stuck in one mode of operation
• Grinding noises and vibrations during cycle shifts
• Premature ending of cycles

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

This shaft and tube assembly supports and drives the washer's inner basket during the spin cycle. Replacing a worn or bent assembly restores smooth rotation and helps reduce noise, vibration, and basket wobble.

• Supports and centers the inner tub for stable spinning
• Provides the rotating drive surface that turns the basket in spin
• Works with the washer's drive system to deliver spin power
• Common symptoms: no or weak spin, scraping/grinding noises, excessive vibration, or basket wobble

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; wear gloves and eye protection
• Access typically requires removing the top/console, agitator or wash plate, inner basket, and retaining hardware
• Inspect related parts and replace if worn or leaking during reassembly
• After installation, level the washer and run a spin test to check for proper operation and leaks
