Kenmore / Sears Refrigerator Insulation, Sound Dampening Parts

The Ice Chute Door Insulation is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is installed on the ice chute door to prevent warm air infiltration and moisture buildup around the ice dispenser.

Causes may include compression or cracking of insulating foam/material from normal use stress. Spills exposing it to liquid are also damaging.

Symptoms of defective insulation consist of:

• Ice accumulating within the chute cover area
• Condensation visible on exterior chute surfaces
• Inefficient icemaker performance due to altered temperatures

This OEM Frigidaire replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This foam duct channels and insulates airflow inside the refrigerator, helping maintain even temperatures between compartments. Replace a torn, deformed, or missing duct to restore proper airflow and reduce warm spots, condensation, and inefficient cooling.

• Directs chilled air through the vent path for consistent cooling
• Helps seal the air passage to prevent leaks and temperature swings
• Failure can present as weak airflow, warm fresh food section, or frost/condensation near vents
• Visible damage such as crumbling, tearing, or misshaping indicates the duct should be replaced

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove interior shelves/drawers and the relevant liner panel to access the duct; take a reference photo
• Carefully lift out the old foam, clean debris, and press the new duct fully into place so it seats and seals around the vents
• Reinstall panels and shelves, restore power, and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to normalize

The EVAPORATOR INSULATOR is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a heat-resistant insulating pad or wrap that surrounds the evaporator coils. The insulator works to retain cool air and prevent warmer air from entering the refrigerated compartment.  

Causes of a bad insulator can include deterioration or breakdown of insulating properties over time due to aging materials. Cracks, holes, or compressed sections of the insulator result in reduced insulation performance.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator insulator include:

• Inconsistently cool or warmer fridge temperatures 
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils or surrounding areas
• Higher than normal electric bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm or cold spots inside refrigerator shelves and compartments

This OEM Frigidaire replacement insulator is compatible with some Kitchenaid, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator models. 

Size: 63-1/2 x 35-1/2 x 2-5/8 inch.

This insul-sound deadening pad reduces vibration and noise by dampening panels and components in laundry and kitchen appliances. It's a small adhesive-backed sound/isolation pad used where noise or rattles transfer through metal surfaces. What it does

• Dampens rattles and reduces structure-borne noise from panels, cabinets and housings.
• Helps isolate vibrating components from appliance chassis to lower perceived sound.
• Commonly applied behind control panels, cabinet walls or on motor mounts to cut vibration transmission.
• Useful when worn, detached or hardened factory pads allow increased noise.

• One insul-sound deadening pad

• Disconnect power before servicing an appliance to avoid shock or injury.
• Clean and dry mounting surface; press pad firmly to ensure adhesive contact.
• Replace only in the original location; do not cover vents or moving parts.
• If adhesive is weak, use OEM-approved adhesive; avoid solvents that may damage finishes.

This foam insulation block helps fill gaps and reduce heat transfer inside the refrigerator cabinet to maintain proper cooling and reduce frost/condensation. It restores the designed insulation barrier where the original piece is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing foam block that seals internal gaps in the cabinet or behind panels
• Helps prevent warm air infiltration that can cause poor cooling or excess frost
• Reduces condensation and moisture buildup around the evaporator area or panel seams
• Supports consistent temperature performance by restoring insulation continuity

• One foam insulation block

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access location may require removing interior panels or shelves; handle panels and clips carefully
• Install in the exact position and orientation of the original part; use any existing adhesive or fasteners as required
• If adhesive is needed, use only appliance-safe adhesives compatible with foam and follow manufacturer guidance

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.

This evaporator insulator cushions and protects the evaporator assembly to help maintain proper airflow and reduce condensation and vibration-related noise. It's a direct-replacement trim/foam piece used where the evaporator meets the cabinet. What it does:

• Cushions the evaporator to prevent rubbing and vibration noise
• Helps control airflow around the evaporator for consistent cooling
• Reduces condensation and frost migration at the evaporator edges
• Helps maintain proper spacing and fit of the evaporator assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the evaporator compartment
• Remove applicable panels and ice/water components as needed to reach the evaporator
• Fit the insulator around or against the evaporator per the original orientation; use only recommended fasteners or adhesive if required
• Inspect adjacent seals and components before finishing
