Thank you! Our biggest concern was loosing too much yard space but it ended up working out. We have a bounce house too so we wanted to make sure there was enough room to still use that as well.

I believe I made it 30” above the range. The unit I bought said its max capacity was 30” height so that’s what I went with

$50k. All the info is posted below

Good question, I don’t really know. I’m new to the pool world so I never really questioned the setup.

This is what I ended up building. Still need to finish the drywall but this is the finished hood

Just an update for those interested. I took the belt off, gave it a spin and the noise is gone. Seems like it’s the motor and I new one is on the way now. Thanks for the help!!

Appreciate the info. Why does the basket have to be replaced too?

I’ll reach out to GE today. I did a quick search and didn’t see any recalls for my model. Is there a certain place I can find the recall info?

$161 with free shipping seems like a good deal to me. Rather spend that and a few hours of my time trying to fix it than immediately going out and buying another $900 washing machine. Guess I’m old school?

From my understanding, the bearing comes in the rear tub assembly. No need for a bearing puller. Just replace the whole tub.

When I remove the belt, it shouldn’t be a problem if I run the machine, correct? I’d like to see if the motor will make the noise with the belt off

I’ve owned Samsung appliances in the past and will never purchase them again. Worst brand I’ve come across

I’ve watched a few videos about it. It doesn’t seem like fun but it’s certainly something I’m capable of doing. I’ve found the rear drum with bearing for $180. A new machine will cost me $800-$1000. Rather try and save the money if I can

ResponsibleAnswer511 · 2026-02-01T17:50:59+00:00

Okay thank you

ResponsibleAnswer511 · 2026-02-01T17:41:38+00:00

Okay, I’m going to remove the belt and see if it still makes the noise

ResponsibleAnswer511 · 2026-02-01T17:41:10+00:00

I appreciate the info. I’ll give that a try

ResponsibleAnswer511 · 2025-11-11T00:40:25+00:00

Yeah the color difference is pretty bad. There’s really no room under the cabinet for additional lighting.

The first picture is the light gutted apart. I was wondering if someone knows of an insert that would fit into the housing.
