WPL VENT KIT, 4-WAY ULT

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.
