Freezer Insulation, Sound Dampening Parts

The EVAPORATOR INSULATOR is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a heat-resistant insulating pad or wrap that surrounds the evaporator coils. The insulator works to retain cool air and prevent warmer air from entering the refrigerated compartment.  

Causes of a bad insulator can include deterioration or breakdown of insulating properties over time due to aging materials. Cracks, holes, or compressed sections of the insulator result in reduced insulation performance.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator insulator include:

• Inconsistently cool or warmer fridge temperatures 
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils or surrounding areas
• Higher than normal electric bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm or cold spots inside refrigerator shelves and compartments

This OEM Frigidaire replacement insulator is compatible with some Kitchenaid, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator models. 

Foam insulation panel that fits inside refrigerator doors to maintain temperature efficiency. Replace if cracked, compressed, or missing.

Foam insulation sleeve that wraps around the defrost drain tube. Replace if worn, missing, or damaged to prevent condensation and maintain proper insulation.

Replacement insulation foam panel for freezer compartments. Restores thermal efficiency when original insulation becomes compressed, damaged, or missing.

This styrofoam evaporator insulator fits behind the freezer evaporator to help control airflow and reduce unwanted frost buildup. It helps maintain consistent temperatures and keeps the evaporator cavity better insulated. What it does

• Provides thermal insulation behind the evaporator to reduce heat transfer and limit frost accumulation.
• Directs airflow around the evaporator area for more even cooling performance.
• Helps reduce cycling and run-time caused by excessive frost or uneven cooling.
• Common symptom fixes: excessive frost or ice on the back wall, inconsistent freezer temperatures, or longer-than-normal compressor run times.

• One styrofoam evaporator insulator as pictured.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove/remove freezer panels and the evaporator cover as required to access the evaporator; retain screws and fasteners.
• Fit the insulator around/behind the evaporator per OEM orientation; avoid compressing or tearing the styrofoam.
• Take care not to damage the evaporator fins or tubing during installation; if adhesive or clips are used, replace or secure them as needed.
