GE Washing Machine Tub Hub Nut & Washers (WH49X27328)

The GE Washing Machine Tub Hub Nut & Washers secures the wash tub to the drive shaft at the center of the machine, keeping the tub properly aligned and locked in place during operation. This hardware kit works together to distribute load and prevent the tub from loosening or shifting as the washer runs through its cycles.

The GE Washing Machine Tub Hub Nut & Washers can wear out or fail due to repeated stress from spin cycles, corrosion from water exposure, or gradual loosening over time from vibration. A damaged or stripped hub nut can allow the tub to wobble or become completely detached from the drive shaft, making the machine unsafe or unable to operate.

Look for these symptoms to help determine if this part needs to be replaced:

- Tub wobbles or shifts noticeably during the wash or spin cycle

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

- Excessive vibration that worsens over time and is not load related

- Tub spins unevenly or feels loose when moved by hand

- Visible rust, corrosion, or damage around the hub nut area

- Washer stops mid-cycle due to tub movement triggering a fault
