The air duct, part number WP2316186, helps direct cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment. When it\u2019s broken or not working properly, airflow gets disrupted and cooling performance drops. The good news is that replacing the air duct is a simple repair you can do yourself. In this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through the steps to remove the old duct and install a new one to restore proper airflow. Let\u2019s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Watch here: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mLFgzCABR84\"><b>How to replace the air duct on a refrigerator<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The information in this article may not apply to your specific appliance model. We recommend consulting your manufacturer&#8217;s documentation or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/repair-help\/\"> <b>contact us<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with any questions.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the air duct?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a refrigerator, the air duct is responsible for transporting the cooled air from the evaporator coil to the various compartments. The evaporator coil, which is located in the freezer section, absorbs heat from the surrounding air, causing it to cool down. The cooled air then needs to be distributed throughout the entire appliance, and that&#8217;s where the air duct comes into play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The air duct guides the cooled air from the freezer to the fresh food compartment. If the air duct becomes damaged or deteriorates over time, it can restrict the flow of air, resulting in warm spots or uneven cooling. This not only affects the performance of the refrigerator but can also lead to increased energy consumption as the appliance works harder to compensate for the lack of proper air circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety first\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working on any appliance, always keep safety first to avoid personal injury or damage to the appliance or parts. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always power off and unplug your appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before you attempt any maintenance or replacement work. This keeps you safe by preventing any risk of electric shock.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the appliance has recently been used, give it plenty of time to cool down before working on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take your time while working to prevent accidents and personal injuries. Rushing is the enemy of precision.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work in a well-lit area so you can clearly see and access appliance parts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your workspace free of clutter and other obstacles. Keep children and pets away from the work area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never work on internal parts with wet hands. Make sure the work area is completely dry.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the user manual to see if there are specific installation or safety instructions related to your appliance or replacement part.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the appliance or cause personal injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts and debris.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider wearing safety glasses and\/or a dust mask when working with chemicals, dust or a large amount of debris to prevent irritation or injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools and materials needed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you begin the replacement process, make sure you have the following tools and materials on hand:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\/4-inch nut driver\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacement <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/whirlpool-hood-foil-assy-wp2316186-ap6007256.html\"><b>Air Duct Part #WP2316186<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Take your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-find-your-appliances-model-number\/\"><b>model number<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><b>AppliancePartsPros.com<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to locate the correct part for your unit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacement Steps<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by unplugging the refrigerator or turning off the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock while working.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fully open the freezer compartment to access the lower area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slide out the glass shelf above the lower rear panel to create room for the repair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a \u00bc-inch nut driver to remove the two screws, one at each top corner of the panel.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lift the panel slightly and pull it out to expose the air ducts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll see two identical air ducts at the bottom rear of the freezer.
