Air Duct Or Vent

This diffuser directs and disperses airflow inside the refrigerator compartment to help maintain even temperatures and prevent cold spots. It's a small plastic vent piece that routes air coming from the evaporator into the cabinet. What it does:

• Guides and spreads cold air from the evaporator fan to improve cabinet airflow
• Helps reduce localized hot or cold spots near vents
• Prevents direct air blasts that can cause uneven cooling of stored items
• Should be replaced if cracked, warped, or broken to restore proper airflow

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Typically snaps or slides into the vent opening; may require a flat screwdriver to release retaining tabs
• Inspect surrounding vent housing for damage and replace as needed
• Refer to your model's service guide for specific removal/replacement steps

This air damper actuator is the motorized control that opens and closes the refrigerator air damper to regulate airflow between compartments, helping maintain even temperatures and proper cooling performance. What it does:

• Rotates the damper door to direct cold air into the refrigerator or freezer compartments
• Helps balance compartment temperatures for food safety and efficiency
• Can prevent overcooling or warming when functioning correctly
• Failure symptoms may include uneven temperatures, reduced cooling, or a damper that won't open/close

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Typically mounts to the damper housing with screws and connects to a wiring harness; verify harness alignment before reconnecting
• Handle the actuator and damper door gently to avoid damage to the gear teeth

This lower tower air filter keeps refrigerator air circulating through the fresh-food compartment and helps reduce common odors. It replaces the worn or clogged lower section of the tower air assembly to restore proper airflow. What it does:

• Filters and directs air through the lower tower to help maintain fresh-smelling interior air
• Helps prevent poor airflow and uneven cooling linked to a clogged tower section
• Operates as the lower half of the refrigerator air tower assembly where applicable

• Disconnect power before servicing the refrigerator to avoid shock or injury
• Remove the interior tower cover/panels as required to access the lower filter section
• Align tabs and gently snap the lower filter into the tower housing; ensure a secure fit
