GE 27-Inch Washing Machine Tub (WH45X10149)

The GE 27-Inch Washing Machine Tub is the large inner drum that holds your laundry and water during the wash cycle, working together with the agitator or impeller to clean clothes. It rotates during the spin cycle to remove excess water from your load, and its sealed construction helps contain water within the washer cabinet throughout operation.

The GE 27-Inch Washing Machine Tub can crack, warp, or develop damage over time from heavy loads, sharp objects left in pockets, or physical impact during use. Rust, corrosion from hard water minerals, or a worn tub seal can also compromise the tub, leading to leaks or rough surfaces that snag and damage clothing.

Watch for these symptoms to help determine if the washing machine tub needs to be replaced:

- Visible cracks, holes, or breaks in the inner drum surface

- Water leaking from inside the washer during or after a cycle

- Clothes coming out snagged, torn, or caught on rough edges

- Rust stains or discoloration transferring onto laundry

- Unusual scraping or grinding noise during agitation or spin

- Tub wobbles, vibrates excessively, or moves out of alignment during operation

- Washer fails to hold water at the start of the wash cycle
