Product Description
The GENERAL ELECTRIC ws26x21821 is a motor cam gear assembly designed for residential water softener units. This component receives operational signals from the softener controller and translates them into mechanical motion, driving the cam and gear through their programmed cycle. It is a direct-replacement part used to restore proper valve cycling function when the original motor assembly has failed or worn out. Licensed plumbers and appliance technicians are the typical installers for this type of repair.
This motor cam gear assembly is intended for use in GE water softener systems where the valve drive motor has failed, causing the unit to stop cycling through regeneration or service positions. It restores the timed cam-and-gear actuation that controls brine draw, backwash, and service flow positions. Consult the specific softener model documentation to confirm fitment before installation.
Key Features
- Receives controller signals to drive cam and gear through softener valve cycles
- Genuine GE replacement part for reliable fit and function
- Restores regeneration cycle sequencing in water softener valve assemblies
- Lightweight construction at approximately 1 pound
Compatibility

Installation Notes
Disconnect power to the water softener unit at the wall outlet before beginning any service work. A licensed plumber or qualified appliance technician should perform this replacement. Use work gloves during installation to protect hands from sharp edges on internal valve components. Verify the unit is in the bypass position before removing the motor assembly to prevent unintended water flow.
