Common failure areas on this model

The confirmed parts above group into a handful of failure areas. Here is what each points to and how to check it before you order anything.

General hardware and mounting parts

Symptom: A small mechanical or mounting part has failed, cracked, or gone missing.

Check: Compare the physical shape and mounting points to the original piece, and confirm the exact part number against your model plate before ordering.

Parts in this group on LA5668XSW2: 388949 (Clutch), WP358684 (Lid Strike), W10083190 (E-Ring), W10880720 (Washer Ringtub), 285785 (Washer Clutch Assembly), WP96160 (Washer Screen), WP89503 (Inlet Hose - 5 FT), WP389140 (Drive Block - 2 5/16 Inch High), 358992 (Valve), 62570 (Gear), 63320 (Pinion), 389140 (Washer Drive Block), 350930 (Spray Paint - 12 oz. - White), 72017 (Touch-Up Paint - White).

Water inlet and drainage

Symptom: A washer that won't fill, fills slowly, won't drain, or leaves standing water in the tub.

Check: For fill problems, check the inlet valve's screen filters for sediment. For drain problems, check the pump for a jammed object and confirm the drain hose isn't kinked or looped too high.

Parts in this group on LA5668XSW2: WP3348552 (Washer Pump To Drain Hose), WPW10358149 (Washer Drain Hose), 285664 (Drain Hose with Clamp), 285871 (Tub-to-Pump Hose Kit).

Storage, trim and cosmetic hardware

Symptom: A cracked shelf, broken door bin, worn hinge, or missing trim piece -- cosmetic and storage wear rather than a functional breakdown.

Check: Match the physical dimensions and mounting tabs of the old part before ordering; these pieces are often model-specific even between visually similar models.

Parts in this group on LA5668XSW2: WPW10072840 (Washer Inner Cap Seal), WP8546461 (Cam), WP63022 (Washer Brake Cam Sleeve), WP8546462 (Spin Tube Bearing), WP64208 (Washer Spin/Drive Tube), WP388326 (Console Screw), 62534 (Rack), 21366 (Washer Spanner Nut).

Drive system (belts, pulleys, motors)

Symptom: A drum or tub that won't turn, a burning-rubber smell, or a loud thump or squeal during a cycle.

Check: With power off, turn the drum or tub by hand -- resistance or grinding points to the motor or a bearing, and a cracked, glazed, or snapped belt is visible once the cabinet is open.

Parts in this group on LA5668XSW2: WP661600 (Washer 2speed Drive Motor 60hz 120v), 389246 (Gear Case), 62621 (Actuator).

Suspension and tub hardware

Symptom: Excessive vibration, banging, or the machine "walking" during the spin cycle.

Check: Check that all leveling legs are actually contacting the floor, then inspect the suspension rods or springs for wear or a broken mount point.

Before you buy

Match LA5668XSW2 exactly against the model and serial plate on the appliance itself before ordering anything — a single mismatched character can point to a different production run with different parts. Then check the part number printed or stamped on the part you are replacing against the part numbers in the table above; the printed number is the most reliable way to confirm fitment when a model has gone through multiple production runs. RepairKitHub does not sell parts directly — every part link above routes to an Amazon search for that part number so you can compare current listings and sellers yourself.

How to confirm this is your model

On most washers, the model and serial plate sits under the lid or on the back panel. Match every character exactly, including letters and dashes at the end — appliance model numbers often have similar prefixes but different suffixes for different production runs.
