The Funnel Shower Head is an OEM part for GE washing machines, designed to distribute water evenly over the laundry during the wash cycle. This component plays a crucial role in ensuring that water and detergent mix effectively, saturating the clothes thoroughly to achieve optimal cleaning performance. The design of the Funnel Shower Head ensures a gentle yet efficient distribution pattern, minimizing the risk of fabric damage while maximizing the removal of dirt and stains.

Causes of a bad Funnel Shower Head can stem from clogging due to mineral deposits from hard water, damage to the part itself, or a blockage caused by foreign objects. 

Symptoms of a bad Funnel Shower Head include:

• Inadequate water distribution during the wash cycle
• Clothes not being fully saturated or washed evenly
• Decreased washing machine performance due to poor water flow

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

This water inlet valve assembly regulates the flow of household water into the washer during fill cycles. Replacing it restores consistent fills and helps resolve issues like no water, slow fills, or water leaking into the tub.

• Typical symptoms: no fill, slow fill, fill errors, or water seeping into the tub when the washer is off
• Leaks around the valve or hose connections can also indicate the part has failed

• Unplug the washer and turn off both water supply valves before servicing
• Label hot and cold hoses and take a reference photo before removal
• Expect residual water; use a towel or container. Reconnect electrical connectors and hoses; tighten fittings without overtightening
• After installation, open supply valves and run a test fill while checking for leaks

The Idler Arm Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dryers. It is a vital part that helps transfer power from the motor to the tumbling action of the dryer drum. The idler arm assembly allows the belt to provide smooth, consistent power to operate the drum efficiently during each cycle.  

Symptoms of a bad idler arm assembly include:

• Squealing or grinding noises coming from the dryer motor or drum area
• The dryer drum not rotating or spinning slowly
• Loose, cracked, or worn idler pulley
• A worn or slipping dryer belt 

Causes of failure can be normal wear and tear over extended use. Excess vibration from an unbalanced load or a dropped object inside the dryer could also potentially damage the idler arm.

This part is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore dryer models.

This is a small screw, and it is made for dryers, washers, and washer dryer combos. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. Screws are common in these appliances and can cause many difficulties if they become loose, damaged, or missing.A new screw might be needed if there are areas in the appliance that seem off balance or not level. Another way to tell if a new screw is needed is if there are parts in the appliance that are loose or falling off. This is common over many years of normal use as the shaking of washers and dryers can eventually lead to loose screws. Be sure the washer or dryer is completely off before attempting to replace any screws.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually and is compatible with washers, dryers, and washer dryer combos made by General Electric.
