GE Washing Machine Basket Hub Nut & Agitator Washers (WH49X27327)

The GE Washing Machine Basket Hub Nut & Agitator Washers secure the wash basket and agitator assembly to the drive shaft at the center of the machine. This hardware keeps the basket and agitator properly seated so they rotate and move together correctly during every wash cycle.

The GE Washing Machine Basket Hub Nut & Agitator Washers can wear out or loosen over time from the constant vibration and torque of regular washing cycles. Corrosion, stripped threads, or cracked washers are common causes of failure, especially in older machines or units that have been run with heavy or unbalanced loads repeatedly.

Look for these symptoms to see if this hardware may need to be replaced in your washing machine:

- Agitator feels loose, wobbles, or shifts during the wash cycle

- Wash basket moves unevenly or rocks from side to side

- Loud clunking or banging sounds coming from the center of the tub

- Agitator spins freely or does not engage properly with the drive shaft

- Visible rust, cracks, or damage on the hub nut or washers

- Clothes are not being cleaned evenly due to poor agitation

- Washing machine vibrates excessively or walks across the floor during use
