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 WGR242AS5: 5303307893 (Dryer High-Temperature Lubricant), 5303281135 (Dryer Radiant Sensor), 131825900 (Dryer Drum Bearing), 5303281153 (Dryer Drum Bearing Kit 5303281153), 5303281019 (Dryer Grounding Ball).
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.

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 WGR242AS5 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.
