The Lid Switch Magnet is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This magnet interacts with the lid switch to signal that the washer lid is closed, allowing the washing cycle to begin.

Causes of a bad lid switch magnet can include wear and tear from frequent use, physical damage, or loss of magnetism over time. A malfunctioning magnet can prevent the washer from detecting a closed lid, thereby interrupting the wash cycle.

Symptoms of a bad Lid Switch Magnet include:

• Washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
• Error codes indicating lid issues
• Washer not spinning or agitating
• Lid lock mechanism not engaging

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

The Belt Installation Tool is an OEM replacement part for GE washers. It provides the necessary leverage and positioning for hassle-free belt replacement. 

Causes of needing this tool include belts that become cracked or loose over repeated use. Proper belt tension is critical for efficient spinning and drying cycles.

Symptoms of needing this tool include: 

• Vibration or off-center loads during wash or spin cycles
• Slow or ineffective drying 
• Belt slippage that produces a squealing noise

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

The Suspension Rod and Spring Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This assembly is crucial for maintaining the stability of the washing machine drum during the wash and spin cycles by absorbing vibrations and reducing movement.

Over time, these components can wear out due to frequent use, heavy loads, or unbalanced loads that place excessive strain on the rods and springs. Replacing a faulty suspension rod and spring assembly ensures the washing machine operates smoothly and quietly.

Symptoms of a bad suspension rod and spring assembly include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during wash cycles
• Loud banging or knocking noises
• The washer moving or walking during operation
• Uneven or off-balance loads causing the drum to tilt

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

The Mode Shifter & Shaft Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE washing machines. It is a mechanical component located inside the washer tub that allows for shifting between agitation, spin, and other cycles. The mode shifter and shaft assembly receive input from the control system to precisely change the operational mode at designated points in the cycle.

Causes of a bad mode shifter & shaft assembly include worn out or damaged internal gears, stripped or broken shafts, or a loss of integrity in components that restrict smooth shifting between modes.

Symptoms of a bad mode shifter & shaft assembly include:

• Inability to start or change wash cycles
• The washer getting stuck in one mode of operation
• Grinding noises and vibrations during cycle shifts
• Premature ending of cycles

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

The Screw is an OEM part for GE appliances, commonly used in washing machines, dryers, and other household appliances.

The Pulsator Coupling is an OEM replacement part for GE washing machines. It is a component located inside the washer tub that allows for the connection and movement of the agitator. The coupling pulsator works with the drive motor to rotate the agitator back and forth during the wash cycle, helping to thoroughly clean clothes through agitation.

Causes of a bad pulsator coupling include wear and tear over time, damage due to impact or foreign objects getting lodged in the mechanism, or deterioration of internal components that restrict proper movement.

Symptoms of a bad pulsator coupling include:

• The agitator not spinning or rotating as it should
• Grinding or clicking noises coming from the tub area
• Vibrations felt in the top of the washer
• Improper agitation, resulting in poor cleaning performance

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

The Lid Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This part is the lid of the washer. It is essential for securely covering the washer drum, preventing water from splashing out during the wash cycle, and allowing safe operation by ensuring the washer does not run with the lid open.

Causes of a bad lid assembly can include general wear and tear, physical damage from heavy loads or impacts, or issues with the hinges or latch mechanisms.

Symptoms of a bad lid assembly include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the lid
• Washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle due to a faulty lid switch
• Visible cracks or damage on the lid
• Water leaking from the top of the washer

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

The anti-siphon clip secures the washer's drain hose to a standpipe or laundry tub, maintaining the proper air gap to prevent siphoning and backflow. It keeps the hose stable so the washer fills and drains as intended.

• Maintains an air break at the drain to help stop unintended siphoning
• Holds the drain hose securely to a standpipe or sink/tub
• Helps prevent "filling and draining at the same time" or low water levels
• Helps keep the hose from vibrating loose or popping out during cycles

• Unplug the appliance and shut off water before starting
• Route the drain hose per the installation manual; avoid kinks or submerging the hose end
• Snap the clip onto the hose and fasten it to the standpipe or tub edge
• Run a quick test to verify no leaks and correct hose position

The Tub Dampening Strap Retainer is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This part holds the tub dampening straps in place, which help to stabilize the washing machine tub during operation.
