Customer Questions and Answers for Housing Assembly (Front) by Whirlpool

This front housing assembly replaces a cracked or damaged front housing to restore proper drum alignment and reduce vibration or air leaks. It provides the mounting surface for the door and related front-end components. What it does

• Supports the front of the drum and provides mounting points for the door and seal
• Helps maintain proper drum alignment to prevent rubbing and uneven wear
• Keeps airflow directed through the dryer to support efficient drying
• Symptoms a bad housing may cause: visible cracks or breaks, excess vibration or noise, rubbing or scraping, front panel misalignment, or poor airflow

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair
• Take photos of component locations and wiring before disassembly for reference
• Removal may require detaching the door, front panel, and drum; handle heavy parts carefully
