Washer Hub

The Washer Basket Hub is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is designed to connect the washer basket to the drive shaft, enabling the basket to spin during the wash and spin cycles. This component ensures that the basket rotates smoothly and efficiently, contributing to the overall performance and functionality of the washing machine.

You should replace the washer basket hub if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad basket hub can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, corrosion due to water exposure, or damage from overloading the washer. A faulty basket hub can impair the spinning action, leading to inefficient washing and rinsing.

Symptoms of a bad washer basket hub include:

• The washer basket not spinning or agitating properly
• Loud noises such as grinding or clunking during spin cycles
• The washer failing to complete cycles or properly clean clothes
• The basket being loose or wobbling during operation

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Hub Nut is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This component secures the inner tub to the drive mechanism, ensuring that it remains in place during the agitation and spinning cycles. This lock-down nut is reverse threaded, meaning that it is loosed by rotating it clockwise. For easier removal of the old nut, it is recommended to use the tub nut spanner wrench WX5X1325.

Symptoms of a bad Hub Nut include:

• Unusual noises like banging or grinding during the spin cycle.
• The inner tub moving excessively or becoming loose.
• Leakage around the center of the machine, indicating a seal failure possibly related to a loose hub nut.
• Inefficiency in spinning or agitating clothes properly.

Causes of a bad hub nut can include corrosion due to exposure to water and detergent, improper initial installation, or loosening over time from the vibration and movement of the washing machine.

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

The Hub Washer is an OEM part for GE washing machines, designed to fit between the transmission and the inner tub. The hub washer acts as both a seal and a buffer, reducing wear on both the transmission and the tub by absorbing some of the operational stresses.

Causes of damage to the hub washer often include normal wear and tear from repeated use, exposure to harsh detergents or water conditions that can degrade the material, or overloading of the washing machine, which puts additional stress on mechanical components.

Symptoms of a bad Hub Washer include:

• Leaks from the bottom of the washing machine 
• Unusual noises during the wash or spin cycles, such as grinding or squeaking
• Difficulty in agitating or spinning, which could be caused by excessive friction or misalignment due to a worn or damaged hub washer.

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

The Drum Mounting Hub is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This hub connects the washer drum to the drive system, allowing the drum to spin during the wash and spin cycles. It is integral to the proper functioning of the washer, ensuring that clothes are cleaned effectively and efficiently. The kit includes the drive block, drive hub, tub nut, hardware and instruction sheet.

Causes of a bad drum mounting hub can include wear and tear from regular use, corrosion from constant exposure to water, or physical damage due to unbalanced loads or overloading.

Symptoms of a bad drum mounting hub include:

• The washer drum not spinning or spinning unevenly
• Loud noises such as banging or clunking during operation
• Excessive vibration or movement of the washing machine
• Clothes coming out wetter than usual due to ineffective spinning

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Inner Tub Mounting is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It secures the inner tub to the washer's outer tub, providing stability and support during the wash and spin cycles. This mounting component is crucial for the proper alignment and operation of the washer's drum.

Causes of a bad mounting include excessive loads, continuous use over time, or physical damage due to impacts or misalignment. A faulty inner tub mounting can lead to significant operational issues and potential damage to other components.

Symptoms of a bad inner tub mounting include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during wash or spin cycles
• Unusual noises or banging sounds
• The inner tub appearing misaligned or loose
• Leaks from the washer during operation

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

This inner tub hub connects the washer's inner drum to the drive assembly, providing a secure rotational link so the drum can spin properly. Replacing a damaged hub restores drum stability and reduces noise or wobbling. What it does:

• Secures the inner tub to the drive shaft so the drum turns with the motor
• Prevents excessive movement, vibration, and scraping noises caused by a worn or broken hub
• Helps correct spin-related issues like uneven spinning or the drum not engaging
• Works with the tub assembly and other drive components to maintain proper drum alignment

• One inner tub hub

• Disconnect power and water supply, and fully drain the washer before starting
• Replacement generally requires removing the outer tub/inner tub assembly and transferring seals or gaskets as needed
• Use proper tools and follow OEM service instructions
• Inspect surrounding components (seals, bearings, suspension) and replace if worn to prevent repeat failure

The Agitator Hub is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. It connects the agitator to the drive shaft, enabling the agitator to rotate and move clothes effectively during the wash cycle.  

Causes of a bad agitator hub can include wear and tear from frequent use, exposure to harsh detergents or hard water, or damage from overloading the washer.  

Symptoms of a bad agitator hub include:

• Agitator not moving or rotating properly
• Loud noises or grinding sounds during the wash cycle
• Clothes not being cleaned effectively
• The washer shaking or vibrating excessively

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
