This acoustic fiber is the sound-absorbing insulation used in a refrigerator's machine compartment. Replacing a missing or damaged pad reduces operating noise from the compressor area and helps maintain the unit's intended sound levels.

• Absorbs and dampens compressor and condenser fan noise from the rear machine compartment
• Helps reduce vibration resonance transmitted through the cabinet
• Restores sound control when original insulation is torn, saturated, or missing
• Common symptoms: increased humming, buzzing, or rattling from the back or bottom of the refrigerator

What's included: One acoustic fiber insulation pad. Install notes:

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator forward for rear access
• Remove the lower rear access panel and note the insulation's placement/orientation
• Position the new pad in the same location; keep clear of coils, wiring, airflow paths, and moving parts
• Reinstall the access panel and restore power; verify no contact or obstruction

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption

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

Cushions refrigerator components at mounting points to reduce vibration and rattling. Replace if worn, cracked, or missing to restore quiet operation.
