What is the reason for replacing this part. Noise concern? My noise is that it thudding vibrations and will gradually get louder. Opened front panel and it does have swaying motion when spinning.
I'm having the same issue. I bought this washer and a dryer used only to discover the belt was broken. I'm thinking the bearing will have to be replaced, which involves taking apart the washer completely. If that's the case, it would be cheaper to just get another used washer. You would replace the drive block because it would make a knocking noise and not agitate or spin. At $6.00 for the part, it's a cheap fix or to rule out the bearing.
Not helpful at all no one replaces drive blocks from brand new washers try taking a drive block from a 3 year old washer its goin to take alot more than 2 fingers to take it off
any advice on how you removed it? mine is stuck, tried using rust liquid and other chemicals and still stuck, should i drill or use a chisel to cut it?
agreed, mine is stuck on there pretty good, visual inspection shows no sign of cracking or damage so not sure how replacing this will get my washer spinning or agitating again. any luck?
Put a agitator coupler in there and upgrade to a tall agitator
how do you remove the nut? mine is stuck and the removal tool didnt work should i drill it?

You don't have to unplug the washer when replacing the drive block. This is a General Electric top load washer though.
Bruce Alexander We recommend disconnecting power to the washing machine before completing any part replacement.
