The General Electric WH49X20495 Washing Machine Tub Motor & Shield rotates the tub with a lot of ease and the shield converts electrical energy into mechanical movement and helps to achieve better wash cycles with the right speed and stability. The shield protects the internal parts from damage hence providing a long-lasting efficient operation. Intended for durability, it improves the washing machine's functionality by minimizing the noise and vibration levels produced during the operation.
