How to Fix a Sagging Apron On a GE HydroWave

If your GE HydroWave washing machine becomes noisy, it can be difficult to determine the exact cause. One of the most common causes of a noisy washing machine is a sagging apron underneath the front cover. The apron helps to hold the washer's motor bracket away from the bottom of the washing machine. Once you've determined that a sagging apron is the cause of the extra noise coming from your HydroWave washer, you can replace the bracket.
