This Part Fixes These Problems

Water Leaking from Underside

Tub seal seals the gap between the outer tub and the transmission shaft. When the seal fails, water escapes during fill or agitation and pools beneath the machine.

Musty / Mildew Odor

Chronic micro-leaks through a degraded tub seal allow moisture to accumulate inside the cabinet, promoting mold and mildew growth that causes persistent bad smells.

Unusual Noise During Spin

A worn tub seal allows slight lateral movement of the transmission shaft, producing grinding, squealing, or rumbling sounds especially noticeable at low spin speeds.

Pumps But Will Not Spin

A collapsed tub seal can allow water to contact the transmission or mode shifter, causing the washer to drain but fail to enter the spin cycle.

Product Description

Why Choose Our WH02X10383 Washer Tub Seal?

🔧
Built to OEM Specifications Engineered to match the original GE WH02X10383 tub seal dimensions, sealing the transmission shaft against the outer tub with a precise interference fit. Meets OEM performance standards without the OEM price tag.
🛡️
Premium Rubber Compound Manufactured from high-durometer rubber that resists cracking, swelling, and degradation from hard water minerals and detergent residue — the leading causes of premature seal failure in GE top-load washers.
🔄
Direct Drop-In Replacement Directly replaces GE part numbers WH02X10032, WH02X1196, WH2X10032, WH2X1196, AP5645738, PS4704237, and 3029799. WH02X10383 is the updated superseding part number for the now-discontinued WH02X10032.
🏷️
Broad Brand Compatibility Fits GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears top-load washing machines that use the same tub-and-transmission assembly. One part number covers hundreds of models across these four brands.
💰
Save vs. OEM Price OEM reference price from RepairClinic is $10.03. Our aftermarket alternative delivers the same leak-stopping performance at a lower cost, helping you avoid a costly service call or full machine replacement.
🔩
Pro Installation Tip Included Apply a thin bead of liquid dish soap or rinse aid to the outer edge of the seal before pressing it into the tub recess. Walk the seal in gradually around the perimeter to achieve a flush, even seat without distortion.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Tub Seal Has Failed

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Water leaking from the underside of the washer during the fill or agitation cycle

⚠️ Musty or mildew odor coming from inside the machine cabinet

⚠️ Unusual grinding or squealing noises during the spin cycle

⚠️ Washer pumps but tub will not spin — transmission-shaft seal has collapsed

🔍 Diagnostic trick: Run a full fill cycle, then open the front access panel and look at the underside of the outer tub near the center shaft. Active dripping or moisture around the transmission housing confirms a failed tub seal. The weep holes on the rear bearing housing will also show water if the seal is bad.

Questions & Answers

Which part numbers does WH02X10383 replace?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
WH02X10383 is the updated GE part number that supersedes WH02X10032 (the original, now discontinued). It also cross-references AP5645738, PS4704237, 3029799, WH02X1196, WH2X10032, and WH2X1196. Our aftermarket seal is built to the same dimensions as WH02X10383 and fits all of those applications.
My GE washer leaks only during the fill cycle — is the tub seal the right part?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Yes. The main tub seal is located between the transmission and the outer tub and is the primary water barrier for the transmission shaft. If you see water dripping from the underside of the outer tub near the center during the fill or agitation cycle, the tub seal is almost certainly the cause. To confirm, run a fill cycle and observe the base of the outer tub through the front access panel — active dripping near the transmission housing points directly to a failed seal.
Does this seal also fit Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore washers?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Yes. GE manufactures washers under the GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears brand names using the same tub-and-transmission platform. WH02X10383 is the correct tub seal across all four brands for compatible models. Always verify your full model number before ordering to confirm fitment.
Should I lubricate the tub seal before or after installation?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Do not apply grease to the inside lip of the seal — the seal does not require lubrication and grease is not recommended by GE. For installation, apply a thin film of liquid dish soap or rinse aid to the outer edge of the seal only, which helps it slide into the tub recess more easily. Once installed, no ongoing lubrication is needed.
The new seal seems slightly loose in the tub recess — is that normal and will it still seal?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
A very small amount of play (up to approximately 1/16 inch) can sometimes be present if the outer tub has expanded slightly with age. In this case, apply a thin bead of RTV silicone sealant or 3M Red 800 waterproof sealant to the outer edge and bottom of the seal before pressing it in. Make sure the tub recess is completely clean and dry before applying the sealant. Once cured, this will compensate for any gap and provide a reliable water-tight seal.
