Customer Questions and Answers for Air Diffuser by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18855129
Manufacturer Part Number: W11164593

The Air Diffuser is an OEM component for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located inside the refrigerator compartment, it distributes cold air evenly to all storage shelves and ensures balanced temperatures throughout the space.

Causes of a bad air diffuser can include cracks in the plastic housing from years of fluctuating temperatures or jammed louvers obstructing optimal circulation patterns.

Symptoms of a bad air diffuser include:

  • Warm or cooler spots noticed on certain shelves
  • Faster melting of ice packs or frost buildup in some areas
  • Increased humidity causing moisture condensation issues

This Whirlpool replacement part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and select Kenmore models.
