This GE Ball Joint Upper is an OEM part for GE washing machines. Designed to ensure smooth and stable movement of the washing drum, this ball joint plays a crucial role in the appliance's suspension system. 

A compromised ball joint can lead to a decline in the performance of the washing machine, making it essential to address the issue promptly.

Symptoms of a bad Ball Joint Upper include:

• Unusual noises during operation, especially during the spin cycle.
• The drum may seem to wobble or be off-balance.
• Excessive vibration of the machine, more than usual.
• Uneven wear of other suspension parts, leading to further maintenance issues.
• Potential leakage or damage to surrounding components due to misalignment.

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

The Start Capacitor is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It is comprised of a bracket and capacitor, which work together in the motor control circuit to start and run the drive motor. The capacitor provides a phase shift that allows for smoother operation of the electric motor.

Symptoms of a bad Start Capacitor include:

• The washer fails to agitate or spin clothes
• An electric burning smell coming from the motor or control board  
• The drive motor makes buzzing or humming noises during the operation

Causes of failure can be normal component degradation over time. Exposure to moisture, physical damage, or operating the machine with an unbalanced load can also stress the capacitor prematurely. 

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

The External Drain Hose is an OEM part for GE washers. It is responsible for directing excess water from the washer out of the home during the drain cycle. The external drain hose connects from the bottom of the washer to an external drain point, such as a standpipe, drain pump, or utility sink. 

Causes of a bad external drain hose can include cracks, leaks, or holes developing over prolonged use. Mineral buildup or contaminants inside the hose can also cause blockages.

Symptoms of a bad external drain hose include: 

• Water failing to drain or draining slowly during the cycle 
• Puddles or flooding occurring near or beneath the washer
• Strange draining noises or sounds emanating from the hose

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

The Leveling leg is an OEM component specifically designed for GE washing machines. This accessory provides stability for the entire unit during operation. 

Symptoms of a bad Leveling leg can include:

• Excessive tipping or leaning of the washer during operation   
• Walks or moves across a tile floor while operating  
• Deterioration like rust developing or cracks appearing

Causes involve long-term exposure to vibration and cycles of weight variations inside the washer. Over time, wearing down can potentially compromise support.

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

The Spring is an OEM part for GE front-loading washing machines. It is responsible for assisting with the opening and closing of the washer door during the loading and unloading of clothes.

Causes of a bad spring can include cracks or fractures from repeated flexing over thousands of cycles. Stress and damage from excessively heavy loads or forced/slammed door movements can hasten spring failure.

Symptoms of a failed spring include:

• The door being hard to open/close or moving too freely
• An inability to hold the door securely closed
• Unnecessary noise and vibration from the door

Replace the worn spring with this genuine GE OEM part to restore proper function and balance to the door. It is designed for precise performance and durability. This replacement is also compatible with some Kenmore machines using GE components.

The Power Cord is an OEM part for GE washers. It provides the crucial connection, transmitting electrical current from the wall outlet to power the washer components and functions. Ensuring the integrity of this cord is vital for safe and reliable operation. 

Symptoms of a bad power cord include:

• Frayed, cracked, or exposed copper wiring 
• Loose connections at either end
• Buzzing, sparks, or shocks felt around the cord
• The washer fails to power on as expected

Causes can be normal flexing wear over thousands of cycles, damage from pinching, rodents, or excess tension on the cord. 

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

Center lid bumper cushions and aligns the washer lid to reduce noise and prevent metal-to-metal contact. Replace a worn or missing bumper to restore quieter, smoother lid closing and protect the lid edge and cabinet finish. What it does:

• Cushions the lid to reduce slamming, rattling and impact noise
• Helps the lid sit evenly to prevent rubbing or uneven closing
• Protects the lid edge and cabinet finish from contact damage
• Common symptoms: noisy or uneven lid closing, visible wear or missing bumper

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before servicing.
• Typically snaps or presses into a mounting boss under the lid; remove the old bumper before installing the new one.
• Use a non-marring tool or gloved hand to avoid scratching the lid; inspect surrounding mounting area for damage.

This is a self-tapping Plastite screw with a hex washer head and a 5/8 in. length that secures plastic and thin-sheet components. Use it to replace missing or damaged mounting screws for a snug, reliable fit. What it does:

• Forms threads in plastic (Plastite style) to fasten panels, brackets, and trims.
• Hex washer head provides a larger bearing surface for better holding power.
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws to stop loose or rattling parts.
• Works where a self-tapping screw is required for secure mounting without a separate nut.

• Use the correct hex/nut driver and a properly fitting bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Hand-start the screw and drive straight to prevent cross-threading; stop when snug—do not overtighten into plastic.
• Unplug the appliance or shut off power before disassembling or working near electrical components.
• Replace with the same screw type and size to maintain proper fit and function.
