• Protects nearby wiring, harnesses, and components from excessive heat exposure
• Helps prevent rubbing or contact that can cause noise or premature wear
• Common symptom linkage: visible cracks, burn marks, or airflow/noise issues during operation

• Disconnect power before accessing internal cabinet panels or service areas
• Remove only the panels and fasteners needed to access the barrier; keep track of hardware
• Inspect adjacent ducts, harnesses, and mounting points for heat damage when replacing
