Part 00682301 Dishwasher Tub Insulating Plate
Purpose
Retains washing heat and suppresses mechanical sound.
Details
The dishwasher tub insulating plate acts as an external thermal and acoustic barrier layered along the top and upper exterior walls of the stainless steel wash chamber. By trapping high-temperature energy inside the tub, it enables the dishwasher to meet strict energy-efficiency standards and complete optimized sanitization and dry cycles. Additionally, this dense composite panel absorbs high-frequency vibrations from the spray arms and motor operation to significantly reduce ambient kitchen noise. When the original insulation plate degrades, tears, or sags from extensive exposure to moisture or structural shifting, the dishwasher can exhibit short cycles, external panel sweating, or increased operational volume.
Included Items
One upper exterior tub insulating plate panel.
