GE Washer Bearing Retainer Kit (WH03X33731)

The GE Washer Bearing Retainer Kit supports and secures the washer’s bearing and seal area so the spin basket can rotate smoothly and stay aligned. It helps keep the tub assembly stable during agitation and high-speed spin, and it helps prevent water from reaching bearing surfaces.

Common causes of failure include normal wear from repeated loads, moisture intrusion from a leaking tub seal, and prolonged operation with an unbalanced basket that increases side-load on the bearing area. Detergent buildup and corrosion can also damage retaining surfaces over time.

These symptoms can help you decide if this kit addresses your washer problem:

• Loud roaring, grinding, or rumbling noise during spin that gets worse over time
• Basket wobble or excessive vibration even after leveling the washer and balancing loads
• Water leakage near the rear or underside of the tub area, especially after spin
• Rusty residue, streaks, or metal shavings found around the bearing or tub support area
• Spin performance issues caused by drag, including slow ramp-up or intermittent squealing
