Refrigerator not cold enough but freezer works? A faulty air damper blocks cold air from reaching the fridge. DIY fix in under 30 minutes with basic tools.

This diffuser—often called the refrigerator air damper—controls how much cold air flows from the freezer into the fresh food compartment. Replacing a worn diffuser helps restore even cooling and more stable temperatures throughout the refrigerator. What it does:

• Opens and closes to regulate airflow from the freezer to the refrigerator
• Helps maintain set temperatures and reduce warm spots or over-cooling
• Common symptoms: fresh food too warm while freezer is OK, food freezing on shelves, weak airflow from upper vents, or clicking/buzzing from the diffuser area
• Helps address frost or condensation near the diffuser outlet

• 1 diffuser

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access from the refrigerator section; remove shelves/air duct covers as needed
• Note wiring and orientation; remove mounting screws/clips and transfer any seals/insulation if present
• After installation, restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

Fixes food freezing in fridge and popping/tapping noises from damper. Restores proper airflow between freezer and fresh food sections. 5-15 minute repair.

Adapter assembly for oven vent system. Installs in back wall to align vent components. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore proper fit.

This gas supply tube routes fuel from the valve/manifold to a burner in your gas cooking appliance. A sound tube helps deliver a steady flame and safer, reliable operation by maintaining a sealed path to the burner.

• Directs gas from the control valve/regulator to the designated burner
• Maintains a sealed pathway to help prevent leaks
• Supports proper ignition and consistent flame size on the affected burner
• Common signs of a problem: gas odor near the tube, visible kinks/corrosion, hissing, or weak/no flame

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply; allow the appliance to cool
• Work in a well-ventilated area; support fittings with two wrenches to avoid stressing the valve/manifold
• Route the new tube exactly like the original; start threads by hand and tighten securely without over-torquing
• After reassembly, restore gas and check all joints with an approved leak-detection solution.

This air baffle assembly directs airflow inside the dryer to support even drying and proper venting. A direct-fit replacement that restores airflow routing and helps resolve common drying performance issues. What it does:

• Channels heated air from the blower to the drum and exhaust path
• Helps maintain consistent drying by preventing air leakage or misrouting
• Commonly replaced when dryers have reduced drying performance or unusual airflow noise
• Works with the dryer's internal ducting and blower system to preserve vent efficiency

• One air baffle assembly

• Replace only with power disconnected; unplug the dryer or switch off breaker before servicing
• Basic disassembly of the dryer cabinet or front panel may be required; follow manufacturer service instructions
• Inspect adjacent seals, clips, and ducting for wear and replace if damaged
