A replacement front drum bulkhead that supports the dryer drum and helps keep the front bearing and seal aligned for smooth rotation. Use this bulkhead to restore proper drum alignment and reduce rubbing, noise, and excessive front play. What it does:

• Supports the front of the dryer drum and centers the front bearing/seal for stable rotation.
• Helps prevent drum rub, scraping noises, and uneven wear caused by a misaligned front support.
• Used when the front drum shows excessive play, thumping, or visible damage to the front support area.
• Installing a new bulkhead is commonly done alongside inspection of rollers, bearings, and the drive belt to ensure full drum stability.

• Disconnect electrical power (and shut off gas supply for gas dryers) before starting any service.
• Remove the front panel and drum to access the bulkhead; expect sharp edges and tensioned components—wear gloves and eye protection.
• Transfer any existing seals, bearings, or retainers only if undamaged; replace worn fasteners and inspect rollers/belts while the dryer is open.

This replacement washer is a small hardware component used in appliance assemblies to provide a stable bearing surface and proper spacing. Replacing a worn or missing washer helps maintain alignment, reduce vibration, and protect mating parts from damage.

• Distributes load under a nut, bolt, pin, or shaft to protect mating surfaces
• Maintains correct spacing and alignment within stacked components
• Helps reduce friction, vibration, and noise in moving assemblies
• Worn or missing washers can contribute to looseness, wobble, rattling, or premature wear

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Note the original order and orientation of parts during disassembly
• Inspect fasteners, shafts, and bushings; replace any that show wear or damage
• Tighten fasteners securely per the service manual; do not overtighten

This factory fastener secures appliance components such as panels, brackets, and handles. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit, reduces rattles, and helps keep parts aligned for smooth, reliable operation.

• Secures components to the appliance frame or assemblies
• Helps maintain alignment and structural stability
• Replaces missing, rusted, or stripped hardware
• Common symptoms include loose/wobbly handles or panels, rattling/vibration noises, or a visibly missing screw

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Use the correct driver/bit and start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear panel onto the cabinet frame, ensuring a sturdy connection between housing components.  Proper installation is critical for the washer's structural integrity.

Causes of a bad screw include corrosion from repeated water exposure or stresses from years of use. Loosening can occur from vibrations weakening the threads over time. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Rear panel detaching from frame opening gaps
• Increased noise and vibrations from a compromised seal  
• Stress on other connections from improper mounting points
• Potential leak paths from openings near hoses or tub areas

This OEM Whirlpool replacement screw helps maintain a tight panel closure. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
