Insulator Evaporator 297078800

The 297078800 evaporator insulator is a styrofoam insulation component designed to fit around the evaporator coils inside upright freezers. Its purpose is to help control and direct cold airflow, improve energy efficiency, and minimize frost buildup by providing a snug insulating layer around the evaporator assembly. This insulation helps the freezer maintain consistent temperatures and reduces excess ice formation on internal components. 

Key Features:

• OEM-style replacement for original equipment insulation used in select Gibson and Frigidaire freezer models.  
• Made of lightweight styrofoam material that fits securely around the evaporator compartment.  
• Helps promote efficient cooling performance and protects internal freezer parts.
• An affordable and easy-to-install replacement part for repair and refurbishment.

Fits the Following Popular Model:

• Gibson Upright Freezer – Model GFU1464FWA (297078800 was used in this model’s evaporator assembly).  

Additional Compatible Uses:

Also found in parts lists for other upright freezer models from Electrolux/Frigidaire and legacy brands where the insulator supports the evaporator assembly. 

Benefits to Customers:

✔ Helps restore proper insulation around the evaporator coils

✔ Improves freezer cooling consistency

✔ Ideal for repairs where evaporator insulation is cracked, damaged, or missing

✔ Often more cost-effective than full evaporator assembly replacements

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:

• Excessive frost or ice build-up inside the freezer
• Poor temperature regulation
• Strange cold spots near the evaporator area
