TRANSMISSION
The transmission is the most common problem with noisy GE washers. The transmission will make a roaring noise when its spinning and this is likely caused by the tub seal (the tub seal is where the transmission goes into the tub) leaking. The part number for the transmission that fits all top-loading washers made after 1995 with the exception of the HydroWave models is WH38X10002 Order Here.

SUSPENSION RODS
There are four suspension rods that suspend the tub and allow the tub to free float. If the suspension rods are noisy, there will be a squeaking noise during wash. You can fix this by putting bearing grease in the cup that each rod rests in. If it continues to squeal replace all four rods the cups come with the rods, replace them as well. Suspension rods can be purchased at AppliancePartsPros.com If you use grease make sure the grease you use is lithium based. The part number for the lubricant GE recommends is WC32X5003 Order Here.
WATER PUMP
Washer water pumps can be noisy if something gets in it, striking the impeller. Take the hose off the pump (be ready for some water to spill out) and remove obstruction from pump. If nothing is in the pump then replace the pump. The part number for GE water pumps is WH23X10013 Order Here

TIMER
On some later models, I have found the timer can become very noisy. You may only hear it when the washer is in a soak cycle. The only way to fix it is to replace the timer. Timers can be purchased at AppliancePartsPros.com .
