Kenmore / Sears Cooktop Insulation, Sound Dampening Parts

This cabinet insulation panel helps reduce heat transfer and thermal loss inside the appliance, supporting stable internal temperatures and helping the cooling system run more efficiently. What it does:

• Provides thermal barrier between the cabinet and interior components to help maintain consistent temperature
• Reduces condensation and frost buildup on cold surfaces
• Damps vibration and can reduce operating noise from compressor/air movement
• Worn, missing, or damaged insulation can contribute to poor cooling performance or excessive frost

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the insulation gently; some types are compressible or have adhesive backing for positioning
• Use appropriate fasteners or adhesive as specified; avoid blocking vents or airflow paths
• Wear gloves and a dust mask if the material sheds fibers during handling

This replacement insulation panel fits behind the refrigerator cabinet liner to help reduce heat transfer and quiet operation. Restores the original thermal barrier so the appliance maintains temperature more efficiently and runs properly. What it does:

• Re-establishes the thermal barrier between the cabinet and liner to help the cooling system maintain set temperatures
• Helps reduce frost buildup by preventing warm spots that can cause condensation
• Dampens operational noise from the compressor and refrigerant lines
• Supports even cooling and can help prevent excessive run time caused by heat gain

• Disconnect power and remove all food before starting any repair
• Access requires removing interior liners or rear panels; handle the panel and any foil facing carefully to avoid tearing
• Reinstall using the original clips or adhesive locations; do not compress or bunch the insulation
