Frigidaire 405537597 Dishwasher Toe Kick Plate Kit

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 405537597 is a genuine OEM dishwasher insulation kit and toe kick plate assembly designed to insulate the lower front panel area of the dishwasher tub. The kit wraps around the base of the unit to reduce operational noise transmission and retain heat during wash and dry cycles. Maintaining internal temperature improves cleaning and drying efficiency by reducing thermal loss through the lower panel. This is a direct OEM replacement part installed by appliance service technicians during routine maintenance or repair.

This insulation kit is intended for residential dishwashers where the existing kick plate insulation has degraded, torn, or been removed. It addresses noise complaints and poor drying performance caused by heat loss at the lower panel. Appliance technicians typically encounter this part during tub or door panel service calls on Frigidaire and Electrolux dishwasher models.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified appliance service technician. Disconnect power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker before beginning any service work. The toe kick panel is typically secured with clips or screws at the base of the unit; remove the existing panel and insulation before fitting the replacement kit. Ensure the insulation is seated flush and the kick plate is fully secured before restoring power.
