The LG ADD74236501 Refrigerator Door-Foam Assembly plays a role of insulating the door to make the refrigerator energy efficient. It is installed on the doors to ensure that the cold air does not enter the room while warm air does not escape hence regulating the internal temperature. This improves on the cooling efficiency, minimizes energy use and prolongs the shelf-life of the food products.
