Review on Authentic GE WH2X1193 Hub Nut for Top-Load Washing Machines - Genuine OEM Quality by Todd Cowdrey

Claims an original GE product. Fits very well on my Hotpoint washing machine. We ended up having to CUT the old hub nut off because it just wouldn't unscrew. Then I ordered these. Now we didn't buy a special tool to tighten it. Thinking we'd dressed enough, washed a few clothes and the mother broke loose, causing the washing machine to make a lot of unholy rumbles. So if you don't use a wrench and don't have a deep nut to pound, tighten it with a wrench and knock the ever loving crap out of the wrench with a hammer. heavy hammer Once you think it's tight enough, smack it a little more to be sure. It helps if someone is holding a real washtub to keep them from spinning. Rest for about 5 minutes (take a cold - you deserve it). Go back to tighten even more with the wrench and hammer. Repeat these steps. at least 4 times. Call and order cold pizza. Your body needs 1500 calories, which you just burned off putting on the dumbest hub nut design GE has ever made for its washing machines.
