Hotpoint Washer Parts

The Agitator is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This part moves water and clothes through each other to remove dirt and stains effectively. The agitator's design ensures thorough cleaning by creating currents within the wash water, which agitate the clothes, ensuring they are evenly exposed to the detergent and water throughout the cycle.

The causes for the replacement of the agitator can range from wear and tear over time, which can reduce its efficiency, to physical damage from overloading the washing machine or foreign objects getting caught and causing blockages or breakages.  

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Agitator include:

• Clothes not coming out as clean as expected
• The agitator is loose or not secured properly to its base
• Strange noises during the wash cycle

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

The Transmission Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It is a crucial component responsible for transferring power from the motor to the drum, enabling the washing machine to agitate and spin during wash cycles.

Causes of a bad transmission assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage to gears or bearings, or oil leaks that compromise the assembly's functionality. Additionally, overloading the washer or running it with an unbalanced load can accelerate the wear on the transmission assembly.

Symptoms of a bad transmission assembly include:

• Unusual noises during operation, such as grinding or banging
• The drum not spinning or agitating properly
• Oil spots appearing under the washing machine
• The washer failing to complete cycles or becoming stuck mid-cycle

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

The Drain Pump is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It is responsible for removing water from the washer's tub at the end of each wash cycle, ensuring that your laundry is properly drained before the spin cycle. This pump helps to prevent water from sitting in the tub, which can lead to mold and mildew.

Symptoms of a bad Drain Pump include:

• Water not draining out of the washer, leading to stagnant water pooling in the tub.
• Unusual noises during the drain cycle, indicating a struggle or failure to operate.
• The washing machine stopping abruptly before or during the drain phase.

Causes of a bad drain pump can include blockages from small garments or debris, mechanical failure from wear and tear, or electrical issues that affect the pump's power supply.

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

The Drive Belt is an OEM part for GE washing machines.
