Problem
The rear bulkhead’s enamel finish was nicked up from washing various metal objects unintentionally which causes finer materials to get snags and runs in them.
Tools
1/4 drive socket set, pliers, putty knife screw drivers, 12v impact driver, masking tape, marker and bags to mark parts. Dremel tool with cut off wheel.
Repair & Advice
My dryer was working as it should but was causing several materials to get runs in them when I would attempt to dry them. I noticed there were burrs on the back bulkhead. I attempted to sand them down initially which didn’t seem to work as I expected. I ordered a replacement bulkhead and got everything apart and found I couldn’t get the blower fan free from the motor shaft. I came back this sight and ordered a blower fan and cut the old one off to separate the motor from the old bulkhead. I then with the new parts finished reassembly without issues. Total time was a few hours but I took my time and took photos along the way to document everything for reassembly.
