Washer Tub Bearing Replaces GE WH2X1198

This part fit our washer perfectly and saved us a ton of money on a service call. We also purchased the washer as we felt it was added insurance. A bit difficult to disassemble on a 20 year washer but the on-line videos were very detailed and made the job much easier. Highly recommend this supplier.

This is a perfect fit replacement tub bearing for GE washing machines. Installation requires a fair bit of work, but there are videos on YouTube that will walk you through it step by step. Once machine is properly disassembled installing this part is a breeze and it's a perfect fit. Part was shipped promptly.

The Kendall bearing worked great. Just make sure to get the lower bearing too. With the rust on the transmission shaft I used a bit of 1000 grit sandpaper to remove the corrosion and used a fine coat of grease between the shaft and the two bearings. Now my GE washer runs like new. It's not hard to install but it's nice to have a helper hold the external tub down while separating motor/transmission.

The bearing was ok...I had to return it due to the "wrong size hex wrench" sent by another vendor.. I could not get the "tub nut off" and had to buy a new washing machine....

It was the correct one for my GE WHSE5240D1WW washer. I also needed to change the 6205 bearing on the transmission, it too was causing noise. Make sure you get the "1 inch" ID version and not the metric version, or it will be too tight. There is a Youtube video that shows how to do that. Also, I needed to use sealant/glue on the replacement "gasket" (fits inside spin basket/tub and just above this bearing), or it might leak. Anyway... good product. My washer is like new now...quiet and smooth...

Turns out it was the washer transmission that was making that racket and a new transmission is not available. When it all went back together, the new bearing added a new sound to the cacophony from the laundry, a very very high pitched squeal. My advice- if you’re here thinking about a bearing, give strong consideration to a new washer. It was a bear to tear down the washer to replace. Took time, special tools, and a whole can of WD-40. LOL…. Good luck.

Perfect fit.

Took the whole thing apart and could not get this tub bearing out. Was hammering it with a socket and extender, no luck. Gave up on it. New tubs come with this pressed already.
