Dryer Bulkhead W11178667

What you see is not exactly what you get.

Was very happy to see this part still available for my 34 year old clothes dryer. The old one had worn the enamel paint off and was rusted in places making marks on the lighter colored clothes. The diagram here shows a part with many more drilled holes in it than mine came with. At both top corners I had to drill 2 holes on each side. The bottom right corner of the bulkhead is where the blower housing mounts on the other side. The diagram here shows 6 holes with indentations. It is made to accommodate 2 different 3 hole mounting applications. The bulkhead I received only had 3 holes in this area and they were clocked wrong. I had to carefully measure from the old bulkhead and drill 3 holes in the correct location. The main features of this bulkhead are correctly placed. It will fit, but you may have to do some drilling to get it to match the old one. I am a 55 year old man who is mechanically inclined. This job took me 2 full days when you add in cleaning and all the extra fitting out I had to do.
