General Electric Microwave Damper & Related

This plastic air guide directs cold air inside the refrigerator to maintain even cooling and airflow balance. It helps restore proper circulation when the original guide is cracked, warped, or missing. What it does:

• Channels airflow from the evaporator toward compartments to reduce hot spots and uneven cooling.
• Helps maintain consistent temperature distribution for better food preservation.
• Prevents direct contact of moving parts with airflow paths, reducing frost buildup in some cases.
• Restores designed airflow pathways after damage or removal.

• One replacement air guide.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work.
• Often accessible by removing interior shelves or drawers; handle plastic clips and tabs gently to avoid breakage.
• Inspect adjoining seals and mounting tabs; replace any damaged fasteners to ensure secure fit and proper airflow.

This molded air duct directs cooled air inside the refrigerator to maintain even airflow and temperature distribution. Replacing a damaged duct restores proper circulation and helps reduce warm spots and uneven cooling. What it does:

• Routes conditioned air from the evaporator into cabinet compartments for consistent cooling
• Helps maintain temperature balance between freezer and fresh-food sections
• Prevents drafts or bypass that can cause localized warm spots or frost buildup
• Works with vents, fans and dampers to control internal airflow

• One air duct

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing interior liners or shelves; handle plastic panels and clips carefully to avoid breakage
• Align tabs and mounting points; secure with original screws or clips
• If airflow problems persist after replacement, inspect related vents, dampers and the evaporator fan
