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 LEA80AW-PLEA80AW: 503627 (Filter), WP2200376 (Motor Assembly - Threaded Shaft), WP37001132 (Cylinder Felt Seal), WP37001298 (Drum Glide), 503978 (Heat Element), 62600 (Fuse), 23748 (Retainer Ring).
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 LEA80AW-PLEA80AW: W10169313 (Door Switch 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 LEA80AW-PLEA80AW: WP37001036 (Cylinder Glide Bracket), WP3177991 (Dryer Screw), 33561 (Screw), 56080 (Clip).
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 LEA80AW-PLEA80AW: WP37001287 (Dryer Idler Assembly), WP40111201 (Multi Rib Belt), WP37001042 (Drum Support Roller), 54414 (Idler Wheel).
Heat control (thermostats, fuses, heating element)
Symptom: The dryer runs but produces no heat, or it shuts off partway through the cycle.
Check: With the dryer unplugged, check continuity across the part with a multimeter -- no continuity means it has failed. Clear the lint vent first, since a blocked vent is what usually trips a thermal fuse in the first place.
Parts in this group on LEA80AW-PLEA80AW: WP40113801 (High Limit Thermal Fuse).
Venting and airflow
Symptom: A dryer that needs multiple cycles to dry, runs unusually hot, or repeatedly trips its heat-limit switch.
Check: Clear the lint screen and the full vent run to the outside wall -- a restricted vent is the single most common cause of long dry times and repeat thermal-fuse failures.

Before you buy
Match LEA80AWPLEA80AW 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.
