General Electric Dishwasher Insulation, Sound Dampening Parts

The Tub Insulation Blanket is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This insulation blanket wraps around the dishwasher tub, helping to reduce noise during operation and improve energy efficiency by maintaining consistent temperatures inside the dishwasher.

Causes of a bad insulation blanket can include wear and tear over time, exposure to moisture, or damage from pests or improper installation.

Symptoms of a bad tub insulation blanket include:

• Increased noise levels during the dishwasher cycle
• Higher energy consumption or longer cycle times
• Visible damage or deterioration of the insulation material
• Excessive heat escaping from the dishwasher

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

This tub insulation is the replacement foam/fiber wrap that lines the dryer drum area to help retain heat, reduce exterior cabinet temperature, and dampen operation noise for more efficient, quieter drying. What it does:

• Wraps around the dryer drum/tub to help limit heat loss during cycles
• Helps reduce cabinet surface temperature for safer operation
• Dampens vibration and operating noise from the rotating drum
• Supports consistent drying performance by improving heat retention
• Useful when original insulation is damaged, torn, or missing

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before servicing
• Access requires removing the dryer cabinet or drum per OEM instructions
• Handle carefully—use gloves and eye protection; avoid breathing any loose fibers
• Reinstall with original fasteners and seal as needed to maintain drum clearance

This molded switch insulator protects and positions a control switch by keeping wiring and terminals electrically isolated from the appliance cabinet. It helps restore proper switch fit and prevents shorting or chafing of switch wiring. What it does:

• Keeps switch terminals and wiring insulated from metal chassis to prevent electrical contact
• Holds the switch securely in its mounting location for reliable operation
• Helps stop arcing, burning marks, or intermittent switch function caused by a damaged insulator
• Restores correct clearance between the switch and surrounding components

• One switch insulator

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Typically presses or clips into place around the switch housing; no wiring changes required
• Inspect switch and wiring for damage while replacing the insulator; replace any damaged components
