Genuine OEM Replacement Part
WG04F02344 GE Top Load Washer Tub Dampening Strap – Stop Excessive Vibration and Banging
Replaces WH01X10028, WH01X10046, WH01X2727, WH1X10046 | Fits GE & Hotpoint Top-Load Washers
If your top-load washer is banging, vibrating excessively, or making loud thumping noises during the spin cycle — especially on older GE and Hotpoint models — worn or broken tub dampening straps are one of the most common causes. The WG04F02344 is the OEM GE replacement strap that restores tub stability and quieter operation.
What This Part Does
The tub dampening straps suspend and stabilize the inner wash tub inside the outer cabinet. On older top-load GE washers, four straps connect the tub to the four corners of the cabinet frame, absorbing movement during agitation and spin cycles. When one or more straps break or stretch out, the tub swings freely and bangs against the cabinet — causing loud noise, vibration, and potential damage to surrounding components.

Installation
Unplug the washer before starting. Access the straps by removing the washer cabinet — typically by releasing the front panel clips or removing the top panel depending on the model. Unhook the old strap from the tub and cabinet bracket, hook the new strap in place, and reassemble. It’s recommended to replace all four straps at the same time since they age together.
Pro Tip
Always replace all four dampening straps at once — if one has broken, the others are at the same age and will fail soon. Replacing just one leaves the tub unevenly supported and the banging will return quickly. While the cabinet is open, also check the suspension springs (if present) and the tub bearing for wear, as these are common companion failures on older GE top-loaders.
