The INSULATION is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool electric ranges. Positioned between inner and outer wall cavities, it efficiently buffers heat.

Fiberglass batting material keeps internal temperatures elevated for cooking while preventing harmful temperatures from spreading outside. Stable temperature control is essential for consistent results.   

Causes of damaged insulation could be high heat exposure over time weakening fibers, moisture ingress deteriorating integrity, or physical punctures allowing heat leakage.

Symptoms of insufficient insulation include: 

• Oven unable to effectively retain or distribute set temperatures
• Door and exterior surfaces becoming too warm to safely touch 
• Higher energy bills from frequent recovery heating cycles

This Whirlpool insulation is also compatible with electric ranges by GE, Frigidaire, Samsung, and some LG kitchen models.

• Provides the pivot point and maintains door alignment
• Helps ensure smooth opening/closing and proper latching
• Supports a tight seal to prevent gaps, rattles, or temperature/moisture loss
• Typical failure signs: door sags, binds, squeaks, or won't stay closed/aligned

• Disconnect power before service; wear gloves to protect from sharp edges
• Support the door and control any spring tension; remove mounting hardware and the old hinge
• Install the new hinge in the same orientation; transfer any reusable hardware
• Adjust as needed
