The Grommet is an OEM part for GE washing machines. Found around openings or connection points, it provides a resilient seal to prevent vibration noises and water entry.

Causes of a bad grommet include cracks, tears, or compression from extended use that eliminates the noise-dampening function. 

Symptoms of a bad grommet include:

• Loud buzzing or knocking sounds heard through walls/cabinet during use  
• Water stains or damage detected inside the washer's surrounding areas
• Gaps visible where the grommet no longer properly seals an opening

This OEM GE replacement grommet is also compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models. Prevent noise complaints and leaks by relying on quality grommets. Replace yours today for smoother operation and protection against water damage.
