Title
How to Remove the Front Bulkhead of Your Whirlpool WED87HED
Introduction
Use this guide to remove the front bulkhead of your Whirlpool Duet WED87HED Dryer.
The front bulkhead is the part of the chassis which supports the drum and ties the sides of the chassis together. You need to remove it to be able to remove the drum, the belt, and to access to the blower housing and vent pipe.
This is a more difficult operation, but it can be done if you take your time. A helper to encourage you and to help with some of the lifting and guiding is a good idea. Freeing the lower front bulkhead from the dryer drum is probably the most difficult part to do alone—having someone to hold the drum helps.
