Best Seller
Manufacturer Part

By: Ge
Part Number: OEM12973077
Manufacturer Part Number: WH02X10265

This tub-bearing split ring is an OEM replacement part designed for GE washing machines. This part measures 2 inches in diameter. It is positioned between the inner and outer tubs to hold the tub bearing inside the outer tub. The Tub Bearing Split Ring not only supports the tub/hub assembly but also ensures smooth operation. 

Symptoms of a bad Tub Bearing Split Ring include:

  • Excessive vibration or tub imbalance during spins  
  • Loud clunking, knocking or grinding sounds  
  • Reduced spin speeds or inability to achieve high RPMs
  • Premature tub or bearing wear requiring replacement

Causes can be extended use over time which leads to wear and fatigue of the split ring material. Cracks or breaks can develop, reducing its stability and load-bearing capacity.

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

NOTE: For the washer outer tub seal order WH02X10383.

Horace, With the unit leaking at the bottom you will want to check for leaks from hoses, check for water valve leaking, tub being cracked or a bad tub seal.

Gary, The most likely cause for the tub to fill up with smoke on the spin cycle would be that the inner tub is rubbing on the outer tub or the spin bearings are bad and need to replace the outer rear tub.

Michelle, If the lock nut is not staying tight then you may want to put a little Loctite on the threading which will help to keep it in place.

Hello Phillip, There could be another issue or still in the area serviced. There is a lower bearing and brake assembly at the base of the transmission WH38X10002 that can fail and produce noise. The unit will need to be open and run to troubleshoot the source.

Nate, You will need to check to make sure that the hub nut is tight and that the bolts holding the bottom plate of the tub in are tight.

WV, No, Do Not lubricate the split ring WH02X10265 but make sure the "hub washer" WH2X1199 is in place first(under the split ring) so it seals properly. You do have the right idea, the split ring does support the tub/hub assembly, and as you tighten the hub nut, all three components compress together in order to drive the tub. Thanks
