Description

This back wrapper is the outer rear panel that protects and finishes the back of the appliance. It restores the cabinet appearance and shields internal components from dirt, moisture and accidental contact. What it does:

• Covers and protects rear compressor, wiring and chassis components from debris and damage
• Restores the appliance's finished exterior and prevents drafts or pest entry
• Stops rattling or flapping caused by a bent or damaged rear panel
• Helps maintain proper airflow path by replacing warped or corroded panels

What's included:

• One back wrapper panel

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and, for refrigerators, water supply before starting any repair
• Remove lower kick plate/retainer screws and any rear access fasteners to access the wrapper
• Handle panel edges carefully — wear gloves to avoid cuts from sharp metal
• Installation may require two people for alignment; follow the OEM service manual for torque specs and fastener locations
