Description
Eliminate excessive noise and restore agitation in your top-load washer with the genuine OEM GE WH45X10027 Inner Tub Mounting Hub. This metal component, often called the drive plate, fits beneath the wash basket and bolts onto the gear case shaft. It is a critical part of the drivetrain, transferring power from the transmission to the inner tub for both the agitation and spin cycles. Failure is typically due to corrosion, leading to poor performance.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine GE OEM quality ensures maximum compatibility and strength to withstand high-speed spinning.
- Secures the inner wash tub to the transmission shaft, providing necessary stability and balance.
- Direct replacement for a corroded or cracked hub that prevents the inner tub from spinning or agitating.
- Compatible with numerous top-load washers from GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- Washer spins slowly, fails to spin, or does not agitate at all.
- Excessive shaking, vibrating, or loud banging noises during the spin cycle.
- The inner wash tub appears loose or misaligned.
- Visible signs of corrosion or a large crack/hole in the metal hub (the most common failure).

Compatibility Note
Note: Removal of the old hub often requires chiseling off the old hub nut, as it can be seized due to corrosion. It is strongly recommended to order a new hub nut and tub seal along with this part to ensure a successful, watertight repair. This repair is considered difficult and requires specialized tools like a spanner wrench or chisel.
