The Clamp is an OEM part for GE washers. It is used to securely fasten critical components like hoses, sensors, and wiring harnesses in place inside the washer cabinet.
As a machine that handles water, chemicals, and moving parts, a washer requires many clamps to organize its internal systems. They ensure hoses and electrical wiring remain properly positioned and protected throughout years of operation. Without solid clamps, connections could loosen or detach, leading to leaks or electrical faults.
Causes of a bad clamp can include fatigue from constant vibration, outright breakage from impact or tension overload, or rust/corrosion damage over extended use.
Symptoms of a failed clamp include:
- Loose, disconnected or damaged hoses and wiring
- Water leaks from hose connections
- Electrical or sensor errors
The clamp is also compatible with some Kenmore and other brands that use GE components.
