WH2X1197 General Electric Washing Machine Washer

Washing Machine Washer Overview:
GE's product line encompasses brands like Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. This particular tub-bearing washer is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part suitable for GE washing machines. It ensures the internal tub operates smoothly throughout various cycles. The bearing has an inner diameter of about 1 inch and an outer diameter of about 2 inches.

Common reasons for the deterioration of a tub-bearing washer include regular wear and tear and prolonged exposure to vibrations, especially during high-speed spins, which can gradually weaken the material of the washer.

Indications of a malfunctioning tub bearing washer are:

- Noticeable imbalance or excessive vibration at high speeds
- Unusual sounds, such as grinding or clicking
- Early wear and failure of the tub bearing
- Decreased spinning speed or failure to reach maximum RPM

This OEM part is also designed to fit Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore front-load washers.
