This is the drain pump and filter assembly for select washing machines. It moves wastewater out of the tub while trapping lint and debris to help prevent clogs and protect the pump.

• Pumps water out during drain cycles and spin
• Integrated filter screens out debris to maintain flow
• Can help resolve slow or no drain, standing water, or draining-related errors
• May reduce unusual humming/buzzing from a failing pump

• Unplug the washer and turn off water supply before servicing
• Have towels or a shallow pan ready—residual water will drain when hoses are removed
• Note hose and wire positions before transfer; swap clamps and connectors one-for-one
• After installation, run a short drain/spin to check for leaks and proper operation

The Door Lock is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This part secures the door during operation, ensuring the washer does not run with the door open. This lock mechanism prevents water leakage and provides safety by preventing accidental opening during the wash or spin cycles.

Causes of a bad Door Lock can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical faults such as short circuits or motor failures, and mechanical issues like broken or worn-out latch components.

Symptoms of a bad Door Lock include:

• The washing machine not starting or responding to the start command
• The door not locking or unlocking properly
• Error codes related to door lock issues displayed on the washer's control panel
• The cycle pausing or stopping mid-operation due to the door lock not functioning correctly

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

This inverter board controls the drive motor in front-load washers, converting household power into the precise variable speed and direction the drum needs. Replacing a failed board restores consistent tumbling and high-speed spin performance.

• Regulates drive motor speed and direction based on commands from the main control
• Converts AC line power to variable-frequency output for smooth starts and efficient spinning
• Monitors motor operation and shuts down on faults to prevent damage
• Typical failure symptoms: no spin or tumble, weak/intermittent motor operation, or motor/inverter error codes

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply; use ESD precautions and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the inverter module (often mounted low in the cabinet); remove any cover or bracket
• Transfer wire connectors one at a time to the new board; ensure all are fully seated and routed clear of moving parts
• Inspect the motor and wiring harness for shorts or damage before restoring power; run a spin-only or diagnostic test to verify operation

The Hot Water Valve is an OEM part for GE washing machines. As a key part of the water supply system, it is designed to precisely regulate the release of hot water into the wash tub. The valve opens and closes to balance water temperature as needed during cycles to properly wash and rinse loads.

Symptoms of a faulty hot water valve can include:

• Inability to select hot water cycles  
• Excessively high or low water temperatures
• Water not reaching or filling to intended levels
• Fluctuations in temperature accuracy wash to wash

Causes of failure relate to degradation of the internal valve mechanism over extended use. Mineral buildup may also cause obstruction.

This OEM GE replacement ensures proper heat regulation. This valve is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore washing machines.

The Gasket is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It provides a moisture seal between the outer tub and inner tub components to prevent water leakage.

Symptoms of a bad gasket include:

• Water leaks from around the tub area
• Excessive noise or vibrations during spinning
• Door that does not close or seal properly

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

The Boot Gasket Clamp is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It secures the flexible boot gasket in the place where the washer connects to water supply lines. Proper installation with this clamp around the gasket helps prevent leaks at this critical water inlet point.

Causes of a bad boot gasket clamp include corrosion, cracks, or broken clips that no longer hold the gasket firmly in position. 

Symptoms of a bad clamp include:

• Water seeping or spraying from the boot connection area   
• Loose, slipping, or misaligned gasket that does not form a tight seal
• Rust or mineral buildup indicating long-term moisture exposure

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

The Drain Pump Access Door White is an OEM replacement part for GE washing machines. It is responsible for providing access to the drain pump assembly for easy maintenance and cleaning.

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

The Motor is an OEM part for GE front-loading washing machines. It spins the wash basket during the wash and spin cycles. Whether gently tumbling fabrics or quickly extracting water from clothing, the motor works throughout the cleaning process.

Common causes involve bearing friction wearing down over extended use. Moisture infiltration can also potentially lead to electrical faults within the motor.

Symptoms of a faulty motor may include:

• Cessation of basket/drum movement during cycles
• Inability to activate specific cycles
• Noisy operation or abnormal vibrations
• Intermittent starting and stopping issues

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

Accelerometer (vibration sensor) that detects washer tub movement and sends signals to the control board so the machine can rebalance loads and reduce excessive shaking and noise during spin cycles. What it does:

• Measures tub/vibration movement and reports acceleration to the washer control board.
• Helps the machine detect and correct unbalanced loads during spin cycles.
• Common symptoms of a failing sensor: excessive shaking or banging during spin, interrupted or incomplete spin cycles, or unusual vibration/noise.
• Restoring accurate vibration sensing can reduce wear and improve spin stability.

• Disconnect power (and water, when applicable) before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the sensor and connector carefully; secure the mounting and fully seat the electrical connector per the instructions.
• Verify routing and clearance so the sensor and wiring do not contact moving parts.
• After installation, run a test spin with a moderate load to confirm normal operation.

The Inner Gasket Clamp is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It is responsible for securely holding the inner gasket in place, creating a tight seal between the tub and the door. This seal helps prevent leaks and contains water, lint, and debris during the wash and spin cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad inner gasket clamp can include:

• Water leaks around the door during operation  
• Excessive moisture buildup inside the door
• Deterioration or tearing of the inner gasket
