GE Washer Top Load Tub Assembly WW01A00735 — Fix Leaking, Cracked or Noisy Washer Tub

When a GE top-load washer starts leaking from the bottom, making grinding noises, or refuses to agitate properly, the tub assembly is almost always the root cause. In GTW, HTW, and MTW series washers, a cracked or failed tub allows water to escape the drum, saturates the motor and drive components, and causes cascading damage if left unaddressed. ⚡ Replacing the tub assembly immediately stops the leak and prevents further water damage to your laundry room and machine. Part WW01A00735 is the genuine OEM tub assembly that restores full wash performance with a direct factory-fit replacement — no modification required.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ You have a GE, Hotpoint, or Maytag top-load washer (GTW, HTW, or MTW series)
• ✔ Your model number is listed in the compatible models section below
• ✔ The washer is leaking, making loud grinding/banging noise, or not agitating/spinning
• ✔ You have inspected and confirmed the tub itself is cracked, corroded, or bearing-failed
• ✔ ONLY problem is the tub assembly — motor, pump, and lid switch have been ruled out

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Washer tub visibly cracked or broken
• Water leaking from the bottom of the machine during wash or spin
• Loud banging, grinding, or rumbling noise during the wash or spin cycle
• Washer won't agitate or agitation is weak
• Tub not spinning or spinning at reduced speed
• Rust stains on clothes or visible corrosion on the tub interior

✔ If these symptoms match, the tub assembly is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this tub assembly restores normal wash operation immediately.

⚙️ Installation Notes

Skill Level: Advanced — 2 to 4 hours. Disconnect power and shut off water supply before beginning any disassembly. Remove the washer cabinet panels, disconnect the agitator and all drive components, then lift out the old tub assembly and install the new one in reverse order. Two people are strongly recommended for safe handling of this assembly. Torque all fasteners to spec and run a full test cycle with no laundry after installation to confirm no leaks before returning the machine to service.
