The beauty of GE
One of the great things about GE automatic washers is parts interchange, or more specifically the ability to use seals from the last of the perforated tub machines built in 1995 all the way back to the original AW6 in 1947.
From top to bottom, the following seals can be used on all GE transmissions -
Agitator shaft seal - WH8X291 (you do not need to use the extension for the large capacity tubs if the seal was a kit, designated as WH8X291K)
Drive tub seal assembly - WH8X318 (bellows style, for metal housing transmissions, seal between the basket hub and housing top)
Ring seal - WH8X242 (rubber, between the bearing frame assembly and housing)
The single pulley, internal snubber style solid tub transmission from 1956 to 1959 requires two lip seals. One for the bearing frame and one for the pulley. Neither are available as replacements from GE, however they can be substituted for generic replacements. Yay! (The 1960 transmission uses the same seal as the later transmissions, WH8X281)
WH8X184 - tube seal (upper, within the bearing frame assemlby) (1 ea)
SKF - 13537 - Grease Seal (Grainger 35UA53)
WH8X185 - tube seal (lower, within the pulley) (1 ea)
SKF - 13534 - Grease Seal (Grainger 35UA51)
