GE Washer Top Load Tub Assembly WW01A00813 — Fix Leaking, Seized or Noisy Washer Tub

When a GE top-load washer leaks from the bottom, grinds loudly during spin, or stops agitating entirely, the tub assembly is the most common root cause. In GTW, HTW, and MTW series washers, a cracked outer tub or failed integrated bearings allows water to escape the drum and saturate the motor and drive components — causing 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 WW01A00813 is the current genuine OEM replacement that delivers a direct factory-fit installation with no modification required, superseding both WW01A00735 and 233D3158G002.

❓ 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 or rumbling noise, or not agitating or spinning
• ✔ You have confirmed the tub itself is cracked, corroded, or the bearings have failed
• ✔ ONLY problem is the tub assembly — motor, pump, and lid switch have been ruled out

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Water leaking from the bottom of the washer during wash or spin cycle
• Loud grinding, rumbling, or banging noise during operation
• No agitation or weak agitation during the wash cycle
• Tub not spinning or spinning at reduced speed
• Visible cracks or damage to the inner or outer tub
• Rust stains on clothes or corrosion visible 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.
