Part WH49X27327 Basket Kit – 27″ Hub Nut & Washers
Purpose
Replaces the washer basket hub nut and related hardware.
Details
The WH49X27327 is a genuine OEM basket kit designed for 27-inch washer tubs in select GE and compatible brand top-load and washer-dryer-combo units. This kit includes the hub nut, washers, and agitator components needed to secure the spin basket to the transmission or drive hub. When your basket wobbles, comes loose, leaks water at the basket edge, or has locked bearings due to poor hub fitment, installing this OEM kit restores proper basket alignment, secure mounting, and smooth operation.
Included Items
One hub nut assembly, multiple washers/spacers, and agitator mounting hardware. Existing drive shaft, spin basket, and tub assembly are reused.
Compatible Brands
