Customer Questions and Answers for Foam Duct (Refrigerator) by Ge

This foam duct channels and insulates airflow inside the refrigerator, helping maintain even temperatures between compartments. Replace a torn, deformed, or missing duct to restore proper airflow and reduce warm spots, condensation, and inefficient cooling.

• Directs chilled air through the vent path for consistent cooling
• Helps seal the air passage to prevent leaks and temperature swings
• Failure can present as weak airflow, warm fresh food section, or frost/condensation near vents
• Visible damage such as crumbling, tearing, or misshaping indicates the duct should be replaced

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove interior shelves/drawers and the relevant liner panel to access the duct; take a reference photo
• Carefully lift out the old foam, clean debris, and press the new duct fully into place so it seats and seals around the vents
• Reinstall panels and shelves, restore power, and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to normalize
