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.

The Capacitor is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It stores and releases electrical energy to help start the motor and regulate its speed, ensuring the washer operates efficiently and reliably. This component is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of the washing machine.

Causes of a bad capacitor can include electrical surges, wear and tear from regular use, or physical damage due to impact. Over time, capacitors can degrade, leading to reduced functionality or complete failure. Regular inspection can help identify potential issues early.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The washer not starting or struggling to start
• Motor running inconsistently or not at full speed
• Unusual noises during operation
• Error codes related to motor function

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