Maytag Dryer Drum, Bulkhead, Front Parts

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
