Electrolux 297078800 Evaporator Insulator Styrofoam

Product Description

The ELECTROLUX 297078800 is a styrofoam evaporator insulator designed to thermally isolate the evaporator coil section within a refrigeration unit. This component limits heat transfer between the evaporator coil and surrounding cabinet areas, helping maintain consistent temperatures in the refrigerated compartment. It is typically installed during evaporator service, coil replacement, or cabinet repair procedures performed by appliance service technicians. The part is a direct OEM-style replacement that restores factory thermal performance when the original insulator is damaged, compressed, or missing.

This evaporator insulator is intended for use in residential refrigeration applications where the evaporator coil assembly requires thermal separation from adjacent cabinet structures. It is most commonly encountered during sealed-system repairs, defrost system service, or evaporator fan assembly replacements. Appliance technicians installing or replacing evaporator components will fit this insulator as part of restoring the original thermal barrier design of the unit.

Key Features

• Styrofoam construction provides lightweight thermal insulation around the evaporator coil
• OEM part number ensures direct fitment to original design specifications
• Helps maintain consistent compartment temperatures by reducing unwanted heat gain at the evaporator
• Resistant to moisture absorption typical of low-temperature evaporator environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement evaporator insulator for ELECTROLUX refrigeration units. Consult the unit service manual or parts diagram using part number 297078800 to confirm fitment for a specific model.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance service technician. Disconnect power to the refrigerator at the outlet or circuit breaker before beginning any evaporator compartment work. Remove all food and allow any frost buildup to fully defrost before accessing the evaporator panel. Ensure the insulator is seated flush against the intended surfaces with no gaps that could compromise the thermal barrier before reassembling the evaporator cover.
