2. The new door did NOT have the door latch installed (as shown in the...

GE front loader dryer making loud noise and clothes were getting caught and twisted inside! Victoria M. • Falmouth , ME • January 23, 2018
Our GE front loader dryer is approximately 10 years old. It started making a loud noise. Before we sank another $600 for a new dryer, I decided to go online to search Youtube videos to try to find out if anyone else had the same problem. I found that a lot of dryers had drum support bearings that wore out and needed to be replaced and a lot of dryers were also having clothes caught up in them.
I then found an Appliance Parts Pro video on how to fix this problem and found out what parts...

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
Replace yours with this genuine Whirlpool bulkhead to restore smooth, tight operation. Compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers.
