Take a look at the parts diagram. Two of the suspension rods are shown (1 front, 1 rear) #414 and #415. Rod sockets are #419. Eric

Eric Hi, this is exactly the problem I'm having with my GE HydroWave (model GTWP2250D0WW). But mine is NEW. Just brought it home yesterday evening from my local Home Depot. It was marked down and had been returned, they said it had been in use for only a week or so (this is probly the reason it was returned, of course). I set it up last night and there was grinding from the bottom. Using online resources here, I pulled off the front and could see the tub sagging, allowing the bottom pulley to drag on the steel bottom. The apron does not appear to be sagging. It seems the support rods are weak, allowing the tub to hang lower than it should. Do you happen to know the best way to get these parts under warranty myself, today? Or do I have to have a service person come out for that? :confused: Thanks in advance. Donald

I guess I'm just being impatient. My other options are loading back into the truck and returning it, or waiting for my scheduled service appt. on Monday :/

Donald I bought and installed the apron sagging service kit, installed it and still had the same problem, called a local appliance guy, he told me to replace it as GE washers are crap, so I bought a whirlpool, I would return it to HD

Seems like it'll be fine once I get this problem done, I suppose. I was promised a one year warranty.

According to her, the bottom of the frame on the washer was pushed/dented up, causing the problem which was so much like is being described in this thread. The service person pushed it down with his foot and now it's running fine. Who'd a thunk it? :rolleyes: Also, we thought the dial on the dryer was ¼ turn off. Turns out the dryer simply had the wrong knob. The service person replaced the knob and the dryer is now like new. Thanks for the help. :D
