Parts for Speed Queen FGU17AWF1702: Front Bulkhead Parts

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

Washer adhesive is a clear sealant used to secure various internal components and create watertight seals within the washing machine. Use this adhesive when experiencing water leaks, loose parts, or when replacing gaskets and seals during repairs.

This seal kit includes felt seals designed for use in residential dryers manufactured from 1992 onward. The felt seals sit between the drum and the dryer housing to prevent heated air and lint from escaping the drum cavity. Replace this kit if you notice excessive lint buildup outside the drum area, longer drying times, or unusual squeaking and scraping noises during operation.

This white baffle cylinder is the replaceable tub/agitator baffle that helps move and separate laundry during the wash cycle for proper cleaning action. It restores agitation and water flow when the original baffle is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Channels water and works with the agitator/tub to help move clothes for improved washing action
• Helps reduce tangling and keeps items circulating through the wash zone
• Replaces cracked, broken, or excessively worn baffles that cause poor agitation or noisy operation
• Matches the original white finish for a factory appearance

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Basic tools typically required; may need to remove agitator or access cap—refer to your model's service manual
• Inspect mating surfaces and fasteners; replace any worn hardware and ensure proper seating to avoid agitation issues
