Kenmore / Sears Insulation, Sound Dampening Parts

Bottom

This cabinet insulation panel helps reduce heat transfer and noise so your refrigerator reaches and keeps proper cooling more efficiently. It's a simple replacement that restores thermal barrier performance inside the cabinet. What it does:

• Replaces worn or damaged insulation to help maintain consistent internal temperatures
• Reduces compressor runtime and thermal cycling caused by heat gain
• Minimizes drafts, cold spots, and excess frost buildup around the cabinet
• Dampens vibration and operating noise for quieter performance

What's included:

• One cabinet insulation panel

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock hazards
• Access may require removing interior liners or trim; keep fasteners for reassembly
• Fit the panel into the cabinet cavity in the original orientation; secure as originally installed
• Inspect surrounding seals and components while the cabinet is open; replace any damaged parts

This replacement cabinet insulation panel helps reduce heat transfer and supports consistent refrigerator/freezer temperature control. It restores original thermal protection to help your appliance run more efficiently and quietly. What it does:

• Replaces torn, compressed, or missing insulation that can cause long run times or uneven cooling
• Helps limit frost buildup by improving thermal barrier performance
• Reduces chatter and vibration by filling gaps between inner liner and outer cabinet
• Preserves energy efficiency by restoring designed cabinet insulating value

• One cabinet insulation panel as shown

• Disconnect power and empty the compartment before starting; follow OEM disassembly steps
• Panel secured with adhesive, clips, or foam—remove damaged material and fit replacement into place
• Handle carefully to avoid compressing or tearing the insulation; maintain original thickness and placement
• If adhesive or fasteners are corroded or broken, replace them per service manual.

This insulator is a small foam/trim piece that cushions and thermally isolates appliance panels to help maintain proper airflow and reduce vibration. It preserves fit between cabinet components for quiet, efficient operation. What it does:

• Cushions panels and components to reduce rattling or vibration noise
• Creates a thermal barrier that helps limit heat transfer between parts
• Keeps panels aligned and spaced to prevent rubbing or abrasion
• Worn or missing insulators can cause noise, vibration, or poor panel fit

• One insulator as shown

• Disconnect power before accessing panels or internal components
• Replace only the worn or damaged insulator; trim or adhesive may be needed to position some styles
• Remove surrounding trim or panels as required to reach the mounting location

This insulator is a molded protective cushion that reduces vibration and protects nearby components from wear or contact. It helps keep parts stable and minimizes noise for smoother appliance operation. What it does:

• Cushions components to reduce vibration and rattling
• Protects wiring, tubing, and panels from abrasion and impact
• Helps maintain proper spacing between parts to prevent rubbing
• Can reduce operational noise caused by loose or contacting parts

• One insulator

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the access panel(s) needed to reach the mounting area; retain fasteners
• Press or slide the insulator into the correct position; it fits snugly and secures the component
• If removal requires cutting old adhesive or clips, replace with equivalent fasteners or adhesives approved by the manufacturer

This drain tube insulation cushions and thermally protects the refrigerator's defrost drain tube to help prevent condensation and ice buildup. It keeps the drain line insulated so water flows freely to the drip pan and reduces drip/ice-related issues. What it does:

• Wraps around the defrost drain tube to limit heat transfer and condensation.
• Helps prevent drain freeze-ups that can cause water pooling or slow drainage.
• Reduces the chance of water dripping inside the cabinet or onto the floor.
• Supports reliable defrost water routing to the drain pan.

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before servicing.
• Access may require removing the back or inside panel; keep track of fasteners.
• Slide the insulation over the drain tube so it fully covers the exposed section; ensure it sits flat without kinks.
• If corrosion or heavy buildup is present, clean the drain tube before installing new insulation.
