Marc December 21, 2019 for Model Number MSF25D4MDM01 Hi There, I just ordered Diffuser (AP6034520) for my Maytag (MSF25D4MDM01). Could you please give me a guide of how to install the new diffuser for this model. Thank you in advance.
1 Answer Marc, To change out the air diffuser you will need to remove the cover which will have 2 - 1/4" hex screws that will be recessed in it. Once this is removed you will then need to remove the upper panel of the freezer compartment. There will be a 1/4" screw at the top and then you would just pull out on the panel to remove it. Once this is done there will be 4 corners of the diffuser. Push inward toward the hole with the corners and the diffuser should come out. Disconnect the thermostat tube that goes around it and then attach to the new diffuser and put it back in place. Then reinstall the cover and panels. Read More...
Kenneth September 15, 2019 for Model Number MSF25D4MDE01 The schematics indicate part No. W10899382 or AP6034520 will work for my appliance however the tools to verify indicates it either will not work or not sure. What's the answer?
Tom September 20, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool part #W10899382 air diffuser I am replacing the air diffuser on my Whirlpool refrigerator. The diffuser has the connection wire and then two wires that look the same , one shorter near the part that goes into the freezer and the longer one is with the connection wires. My question is where are they supposed to go during installation. Does one go into the freezer and the other in to the refrigerator. They were both taped on the old one but I'm not sure of the placement. Thanks
1 Answer Tom, Yes, The thermistors are separated and the shorter of the two is placed through the opening in the wall and must be located in the air flow, properly. The longer of the two is routed and attached near the control panel. The thermistors control the temperature in the freezer and the thermistor in the refrigerator controls the damper door to allow cold air into the refrigerator compartment. Also, you may find it easier to work from both the freezer and refrigerator compartments at the same time. Read More...
Ryan January 31, 2017 for Model Number GD5DHAXVQ06 Hi There, I just ordered Diffuser (AP6034520). Could you please give me guide how to install new diffuser this this model. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Ryan. To remove the diffuser you will remove the screw on the cover of the diffuser. Once this is removed then you will open the freezer door. Take the door off the icemaker cover. Under the... more icemaker there is a 1/4" screw to remove. Once removed then take the cover off the wire harness this is where you just took the screw out. Push in on flapper and pull the icemaker out. Remove the 2 screws holding the air duct on the ceiling out. Once this is done pull out the air duct. There will be a clip on each corner of the air duct. Push them toward the center of the diffuser and pull out of other side. Reinstall in reverse. Read More...
Mlemos January 19, 2017 for Model Number 10659976801 Last Oct I got a diffuser p/n W10128734 and I installed it and last month it started doing the same thing which is the dampner door keeps opening and closing.I'm wondering if this part is a defective part because you list a different part number.A friend told that it's possible that I was sold a bad part that someone was trying to get rid of. I didn't buy from you which was my mistake live and learn
1 Answer MLemons, It does sound like the diffuser would be the issue and would be part number W10899382 for your unit. Read More...
Rene June 12, 2015 What voltage should I read when checking the diffuser? I know its a 120v componet, but i am getting 59vac out of one wire. Is that enough to operate the part. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Rene. The damper is 120 VAC. If only 59 VAC, it will not work. You will need to check the control supplying the power to the damper. Read More...
Donald J. May 11, 2015 for Model Number Kitchenaid ksrk25fvss02 Regarding the diffuser W10128734, on my refrig, in the past day or two the damper in the diffuser is opening and springing back closed about every 10 seconds. Seems there is a piece of ice under the door, and so the door only opens about 1/2 way, then, contacts the ice and the spring on the flapper causes it to close. This repeats over and over. My question is - how does this damper motor operate to hold open the flap (damper)? Does it have a limit switch? The springing back when it contacts the ice makes me think a gear maybe stripped, or cracked motor case. What do you think?
1 Answer Hello Donald, You will need to order and install W10899382. This can also be an issue with the controls WPW10356039 and WPW10210789. Read More...
Mike March 18, 2014 for Model Number 10359976801 you recently answered a person named mando about his problems with possibly clearing a vent iced up, how can this be done when the vent is not removable ? it sounds like my fridge cause I to don't get any air unless the freezer door is opened plus the Diffuser door was loaded with ice I removed the diffuser and thawed it out,but when I plugged it in, the door still didn't open so could it also be bad the diffuser I mean.I hope you can help cause you guys are my only hope
1 Answer Mike, Yes, the diffuser W10899382 is the most likely issue. In most cases, you can access and remove the assembly from the refrigerator compartment wall, but you may also need to remove the upper portion of the freezer compartment evaporator cover and ice maker assembly, and press in on the retainer tabs and push the diffuser out and into the refrigerator compartment. The important thing is to find out where the air leak is, if there is one. Make sure both doors close and seal properly, all the way around the door(s). Make sure the lights go out when the door is closed, and the dispenser flapper closes and seals. If all's OK, replace the diffuser, and make sure you install the thermistor in the same location as the original, it has to be in the air flow for the door to open and close at the proper temperature.

Mike March 18, 2014 for Model Number 10659976801 Which wires do I check on the diffuser in my refrigerator to see if it's gettting electricity? I need to know the colors of the wires that I need to check.
1 Answer Hello Mike. You will check from ground to red and then black. If there is voltage, diffuser is bad. If there is no voltage, bad board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
