Customer Questions and Answers for Drive Belt by Ge

Part Number: OEM6133785
Manufacturer Part Number: WH1X2026

The Drive Belt is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It functions as a critical component that connects the motor to the drum, transferring power from the motor, which in turn allows the drum to spin during the wash cycle. Made from rubber reinforced with fibers, this belt is designed to withstand the stress of spinning and agitating motions.

Symptoms of a bad Drive Belt include:

  • The washing machine drum not spinning,
  • A squealing or screeching sound when the washer is running,
  • Visible fraying, glazing, or signs of wear on the belt,
  • The belt slipping off the motor or drum pulley.

Causes of drive belt failure typically include regular wear and tear from use, overloading of the washer which puts extra strain on the belt, or exposure to oils and other substances that can degrade the rubber.

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

Questions & Answers

For Ge Drive Belt (Part Number: OEM6133785)

Kenny for Model Number WHDSR417D0WW

Hi, we have a top load GE washer and the last couple of days we noticed a strong odor while the machine was running, then tonight it started leaking badly while running. We didn't see what cycle it was in, just shut it off when we saw all of the water on the floor. I pulled the front cover off, found a mixture of oil and water in the bottom, and there is a spray pattern of oil around the lower inside of the machine about 3 inches wide. I'm guessing the oil is from the transmission, but not sure where the water came from. The tub was about 2/3 full when we saw the leak and we were able to drain it on it's own. The drain hose clamps appear intact and dry, and the water is puddled on the transmission and brackets directly below the center of the tub. No water anywhere else. What parts do you think I need to replace? Just a note on the odor, we thought it was propane at first (the washer is next to the furnace). We had the odor a day prior to the water leak. Thanks, Kenny

Burt, With the tub not spinning, this issue would most likely be caused by a faulty brake assembly which is part of the transmission.

Hello Tom, I would start with the lid switch WH12X10531. If this does not correct the issue, you will need to verify the timer contacts using the tech sheet wiring diagram and time chart.

Jeff, The first thing you will want to check is to make sure that the unit is not getting off balance. It is a possibility that the suspension rods are worn and causing the unit to get off balance which would cause the unit to not spin properly. If this checks ok then check the belt and clutch.

Dave, Based on the information it sounds like you would be referring to either the overflow tube which is part number WH1X1807 or the drain hose for the unit WH41X184. The tube should not have water trickle out and would most likely be caused by a restriction in the drain or a failing water pump.

Hello Maureen. You will need to remove the front cover to access and replace the belt on the unit.

Hello Cindy, If the agitation works, the belt is not the problem since there is one belt for both actions. If nothing is working you will need to change the belt WH1X2026 but if agitation works, I would check the drain pump WH23X10030 and lid switch WH12X1043 first then investigate the brake on the transmission assembly WH38X10002.
