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 8873279A: 3391834 (DRUM), WP660975 (Plug Button), WP3394508 (Dryer Bearing Ring), 3951312 (Clutch), 387948 (Drive Basket), 63320 (Pinion), 389140 (Washer Drive Block), 696144 (Strike).
Door, lid switches and latches
Symptom: The dryer won't run, or stops, unless the door is fully latched shut.
Check: Listen for an audible click when the door closes. No click, or a visibly cracked plastic tab on the latch, points to this part.
Parts in this group on 8873279A: WP3406108 (Dryer Door Switch).
Controls, timers and wiring
Symptom: A cycle that doesn't advance, an unresponsive display, or the dryer not starting at all.
Check: Look for burn marks or a burnt smell near the board or terminals, and check whether buttons and knobs respond -- a unit that powers on but won't cycle often traces back to this group.

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.

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.

Before you buy
Match 8873279A 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 dryers, the model and serial plate sits inside the door opening or behind the lint trap. 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.
Other dryer models
These model numbers sort close to this one in the catalog for the same appliance type. The brand is not confirmed to match, but the model number range is close.
