The Insulation is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers, specifically engineered to enhance the appliance's efficiency by reducing heat loss and minimizing noise. This insulation wraps around the dishwasher, acting as a barrier that keeps heat within the appliance during cycles and dampens the sound of its operation, making for a quieter kitchen environment.

Causes of a bad insulation part can include wear and tear over time, moisture damage leading to mold or mildew buildup, or physical damage from pests or mishandling during installation or repairs. 

Symptoms of inadequate insulation include:

• Noticeable increase in the dishwasher's noise level
• Exterior surfaces of the dishwasher feeling warmer than usual
• Longer wash cycles due to inefficient temperature maintenance

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Broiler Pan Kit is an OEM part for GE ranges. It serves as a secure platform for positioning meats, vegetables, and various foods directly beneath the broiler element, ensuring safe and efficient cooking. The pan is about 17 inches wide by 13 inches deep.

Over time, wear and tear can affect broiler pans, causing issues such as flaking or stripping of the non-stick coating and the development of small ridges or holes that permit grease to drip down.

Symptoms of bad broiler pans include:

• Grease fires caused by dripping grease contacting the heating element
• A burnt or smoky flavor transferring to foods
• Difficulty removing baked-on grease and food deposits
• Pans that are misshapen or developing small cracks

This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with select Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore ranges
