The Tub Assembly is an OEM component for LG clothes dryers. As the central component housing both the inner and outer drums, the tub assembly is essential for safely drying wet laundry loads. It rotates the drums to circulate air and remove moisture from clothes during cycles. 

Causes of a bad tub assembly dryer can include cracks, leaks, or damage to the drum structure from excessive use or unbalanced loads over time. Wear and tear on rotating or suspension components that impair rotation. 

Symptoms of an issue with the tub assembly dryer are:

• Inefficient or slow drying times 
• Abnormal noises or vibrations during cycles
• Restricted or lack of drum rotation
• Cracks, leaks, or physical damage visible on drums

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This front bulkhead assembly forms the dryer's front drum support and air seal. Replacing a worn or damaged bulkhead restores smooth drum rotation, reduces noise, and helps maintain proper airflow for consistent drying performance.

• Supports and aligns the drum at the front to prevent rubbing and scraping
• Helps seal the lint/air path so heat stays in the drum and exhaust flows correctly
• Air leaks at the front bulkhead can contribute to long dry times or lint in the cabinet

• Disconnect power and gas supply and allow the dryer to cool before servicing
• Remove the front panel/door assembly; support the drum before detaching the old bulkhead
• Transfer any model-specific components from the original bulkhead and ensure seals/glides are correctly positioned
• After installation, rotate the drum by hand to verify clearances, then reassemble and test

This bulkhead is the front tub housing that supports the washer drum and seals the washer cabinet to help contain water. Replaces a cracked or corroded housing to restore proper drum alignment and help prevent leaks. What it does:

• Provides structural support for the washer tub and drum assembly
• Forms the front seal surface to help keep water inside the washer
• Helps maintain correct drum alignment to reduce noise and wobble
• A failing bulkhead can cause visible leaks, excessive vibration, or rubbing noises

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair
• Inspect surrounding seals, gaskets, and mounting hardware when replacing the bulkhead
• Replacement may require partial disassembly of the washer cabinet and drum; follow OEM instructions

The Bulkhead is an OEM component for Whirlpool dryers. As a structural panel, it secures the rear of the appliance while enabling airflow behind sliding doors. 

Formed from durable composite, the lightweight bulkhead installs easily into precise slotted tracks inside the chassis. This allows full retraction during maintenance without removing additional panels. 

Causes of a faulty bulkhead can include cracked welds or screws stripping their anchors from extreme force vibration over many years of use.

Causes of a bad bulkhead can include:

• Noisy rattling and resonance as the dryer operates  
• Restricted door movement from misalignment
• Inability to fully access internal components  
• Excessive ducting leaks from gasket compression failure

Replace yours with this genuine Whirlpool bulkhead to restore smooth, tight operation. Compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers.

• Helps reduce drum vibration and scraping noises caused by worn or torn wrapper material
• Supports proper drum alignment and contact with seals during operation

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
