This vent tube routes conditioned air between refrigerator compartments to help maintain even temperatures and proper airflow. It restores correct air direction so the fresh food and freezer sections cool as designed. What it does:

• Channels cold air from the freezer/evaporator area into the fresh food compartment
• Helps balance airflow to reduce hot spots and temperature swings
• Prevents direct drafts that can cause uneven cooling or food drying
• Useful when a cracked or broken vent tube allows air to bypass intended paths

• One vent tube

• Disconnect power before accessing internal panels to avoid shock
• Remove shelves/panels as needed to access the old vent tube; handle plastic parts carefully to avoid cracking
• Verify correct orientation and secure fit so airflow openings align with cabinet ducts
• Reinstall or replace foam seals or clips to maintain proper sealing
