The Oven Insulation is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. Properly insulated walls are necessary to prevent heat loss through the oven exterior, ensuring consistent and even cooking from the inside out.
Causes of bad insulation include the breakdown of insulating materials over time due to repeated high heat exposure during cooking. Crumbling, compressed, or discolored insulation has lost its ability to hold in heat.
Symptoms of needing new insulation include:
- Inefficient and uneven cooking/baking performance
- Interiors not reaching/maintaining set temperatures
- Overheating or longer than normal cook times
- Hot or warm oven exteriors that were previously cool to the touch
This genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
