You can run a simple test to confirm it. Open the door. Push and hold the door switch, push the start button and while holding this button "on", manually turn the drum. If it will start then no doubt the motor is bad. - The part number for the motor is AP3094245 Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model LE6880XTW1 Gene.
