La5550xp Parts

This hose clamp secures a hose connection to prevent leaks and keep your appliance running smoothly. It provides a tight, reliable hold on the hose fitting so water or air stays contained during operation.

• Tightens around a hose and fitting to maintain a secure seal
• Helps stop drips, seepage, or loose connections
• Common fix when you see moisture around a hose joint
• Useful if a clamp is rusted, stretched, or no longer holding tension

• Unplug power and shut off water (if applicable) before servicing
• Note clamp position/orientation before removal
• Use appropriate screwdriver or nut driver to tighten evenly
• Do not overtighten—ensure a snug, leak-free seal without damaging the hose

This agitator drive shaft sits inside the washer's gearcase and transfers motion to the agitator. Replacing a worn or stripped shaft restores firm engagement and reliable wash action while helping reduce slip and grinding during agitation.

• Transfers oscillating motion from the transmission to the agitator
• Provides the splined interface that engages the agitator/coupler
• Common symptoms include no agitation, intermittent/slipping agitation, or grinding/clicking from the gearcase
• Visible wear, rounded splines, or a bent shaft can lead to a loose or non-moving agitator

• Disconnect power and water; use proper PPE
• Requires removing the cabinet and gearcase; drain and reseal the gearcase per service procedures
• Keep gears, spacers, and clips in order; reassemble in the original orientation
• Inspect mating parts (agitator coupler/splines, drive block, seals) and replace if worn

Used for lid switch.

This lid hinge pad fits between the washer lid hinge and the cabinet. It cushions the joint to reduce squeaks and metal wear, helping keep the lid aligned and operating smoothly.

• Provides a protective wear surface between the hinge and cabinet/lid
• Reduces squeaks, creaks, and rattling when opening or closing the lid
• Helps maintain proper lid alignment and smooth movement
• Common signs it's worn or missing: squeaking lid, rubbing/scuff marks at the hinge, loose or wobbly lid

• Disconnect power to the washer before servicing
• Support the lid to relieve hinge tension and access the hinge area per your model
• Remove the worn pad and press the new pad fully into the hinge location
• Test lid operation; inspect the opposite hinge and replace its pad as needed if your model uses two

This centerpost bearing supports the washer's spin basket on the stationary center post, providing a low-friction surface for smooth, quiet rotation. Replacing a worn bearing helps restore proper spin performance and reduce noise and vibration.

• Supports and centers the spin basket on the tub centerpost/drive shaft
• Provides a low-friction bearing surface to reduce wear and noise
• Helps maintain basket alignment and stability during spin
• When worn, may cause grinding or squealing in spin, excessive vibration or wobble, and poor/slow spin

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; use proper PPE
• Access typically requires removing the agitator, inner basket, and related drive components
• Clean mating surfaces; inspect the centerpost/spin tube and tub seal and replace any worn seals per service guidance
• Seat the bearing fully and verify smooth basket rotation before reassembly

This anti-rattle clip adds light spring tension to keep a small component snug and quiet during operation. Replacing a bent or missing clip helps reduce vibration noise and maintains a secure fit of the attached part.

• Applies tension to prevent rattling and buzzing during use
• Helps keep the mounted piece properly seated and aligned
• Common symptoms of failure: audible rattle, loose/wobbly component, missing or deformed clip
• Simple, drop-in replacement where the original clip is used

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Note the original clip's orientation; transfer the new clip the same way
• Use needle-nose pliers for placement; avoid over-bending the clip
• The component is secure and clears adjacent parts before reassembly

Size: 1-1/16 x 5/8 inch. Used for fill hose. For a 4 pack order 285448A

Almond. Size: 13 oz. can. Acrylic appliance paint.

Size: 8 foot long. This external washer drain hose is needed when there is more distance between the washer and the drain. Note: comes with 1.5" diameter clamp but hose is 1.25" in diameter; therefore you may need to order the 1.25" diameter clamp separately: WP356138

Includes drive tube spacer, "T" bearing and both shaft seals.

This brake release cam works with the washer's brake assembly to disengage the brake during spin and re-engage it at stop. Replacing a worn cam restores smooth basket spin and reduces squeal or grinding at spin transitions.

• Disengages the brake so the basket can spin; helps reapply the brake as the cycle ends
• Supports smooth starts and stops of the spin cycle
• Worn or damaged cams can cause no spin or intermittent spin
• Common symptoms include loud squeal/grinding at start/stop or a burning odor near the brake area

• Disconnect power (and water supply, if moving the washer) before service
• Access the brake/basket drive area; the brake spring is under tension—use caution and eye protection
• Note orientation of parts before removal; seat the new cam correctly
• After reassembly, run an empty spin test to verify operation

Used from harness to top.

Right hand side. For screws use WPW10119828.

This is the washer's agitator assembly with a built-in filter. Replacing a worn or damaged agitator restores proper turnover of clothes and helps capture lint during the wash for cleaner results.

• Drives the back-and-forth wash action that circulates and rolls laundry
• Integrated filter helps collect lint and debris from wash water
• Worn fins or a stripped hub can cause weak or no agitation and poor cleaning
• A missing/damaged filter may lead to excess lint on clothing

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply for safety.
• Remove the softener cup/center cap; take out the center bolt or retainer if equipped.
• Lift the old agitator straight up; align splines and press the new agitator fully into place.
• Reinstall the fastener and cap; run a short cycle to confirm proper agitation.

This tub ring seal sits between the washer's outer tub and the tub ring. It creates a splash-resistant barrier at the top of the tub to keep wash water contained and help prevent leaks from the cabinet area.

• Seals the perimeter joint between the tub ring and outer tub
• Helps prevent water splashes from escaping during agitation and spin
• May help if you notice water around the lid/top of the cabinet
• Replace when the gasket is torn, brittle, or permanently compressed

• Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Lift the top or remove the cabinet to access the tub ring (varies by model)
• Remove the tub ring; clean mating surfaces; seat the new seal evenly without twists
• Reassemble and run a short fill/agitate test to check for leaks
