Dryer Drum, Bulkhead, Front Parts

The Lint Chute Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. This component plays a crucial role in capturing and collecting lint and other debris from the drying process, ensuring efficient airflow and preventing potential fire hazards.

Symptoms of needing to replace the lint chute assembly include:

• Reduced airflow or poor drying performance
• Visible lint buildup or clogging in the chute or exhaust area
•  Overheating or excessive heat buildup within the dryer
• Unusual noises or vibrations during the drying cycle

Causes of a faulty lint chute assembly can include normal wear and tear over time, clogging due to excessive lint accumulation, or physical damage due to improper cleaning or maintenance.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dryer models.

Replaces a broken, cracked, or damaged lint trap duct assembly in your dryer. Directs airflow from the drum to the exhaust vent and houses the lint trap.

This front bulkhead assembly forms the dryer's front drum support and air seal. Replacing a worn or damaged bulkhead restores smooth drum rotation, reduces noise, and helps maintain proper airflow for consistent drying performance.

• Supports and aligns the drum at the front to prevent rubbing and scraping
• Helps seal the lint/air path so heat stays in the drum and exhaust flows correctly
• Air leaks at the front bulkhead can contribute to long dry times or lint in the cabinet

• Disconnect power and gas supply and allow the dryer to cool before servicing
• Remove the front panel/door assembly; support the drum before detaching the old bulkhead
• Transfer any model-specific components from the original bulkhead and ensure seals/glides are correctly positioned
• After installation, rotate the drum by hand to verify clearances, then reassemble and test

• 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

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.
