The Hub Nut is an OEM replacement part for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore washing machines. It is responsible for holding the inner tub onto the transmission. This lock-down nut is reverse threaded, meaning that it is loosed by rotating it clockwise. Over time, a hub nut can wear down or become stripped, causing the inner tub to become loose and unbalanced during the wash cycle. If you notice shaking, banging, or squeaking during your washer's operation, it may be time to replace the hub nut. Don't let a worn-out Hub Nut disrupt your laundry routine. For easier removal of the old nut, it is recommended to use the tub nut spanner wrench WX5X1325.
