- Remove Impeller (Agitator) from inside tub.

- Replace Cross bar to keep unit stable
- Lay machine on its side - use care not stretch or pull any wires.

- Use flat-head Screwdriver to gently pry Bearing Plate away from outer tub (Quite Heavy - Use Care)
- Tub Seal is now exposed on top of Bearing Plate and can now be removed and replaced (Be sure to clean all seal mating surfaces and lubricate with dish soap)
- Reverse this sequence in the exact order for re-assembly taking care to reconnect all wiring plugs and ground wires.
- During Re-assembly I used Blue Loctite on all bolts securing the Clutch, Stator, and Rotor as I found several very loose on my machine

Introducing the GE Drain Hose, specifically designed for washing machines. This essential accessory safely transports used water from your washer directly to your house drain, establishing an efficient and reliable disposal system. Easy to install, it's recommended to shut off the water supply and disconnect the power from your washer prior to assembly to ensure your safety. For added protection, consider wearing work gloves during installment. Trust in the brand you know, GE, for a durable, high quality Drain Hose designed for long-term use.
This is the replacement water inlet valve for your washer. It is made of mainly white plastic, with an inlet for hot and cold water, and it has three solenoids. The water inlet valve in your washer connects to the water source and solenoid wires, and ensures the tub has the right amount of water entering it. If your washing machine continues to fill after it is full, or if it fills slowly, you may need to replace this valve. Before you begin this repair, be sure to disconnect the water and power sources from your washer. This part is sold individually and is an authentic OEM part.
