• Protects the bulb or LED module from debris, grease, and moisture
• Replace if the lens is cracked, warped, melted, discolored, or missing
• Also replace if the lens no longer stays seated or falls out

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and allow the area to cool
• Remove any retaining screws or release tabs to take off the old lens
• Seat the new lens fully; reuse existing fasteners if applicable
• Do not overtighten fasteners; handle carefully to avoid damage

This electronic control assembly regulates the appliance's functions and cycles, restoring reliable operation when the original control fails. It communicates with the console, sensors, and motors to manage timed and user-selected functions. What it does:

• Receives input from the console and user controls to start and stop cycles
• Sends signals to motors, valves, heaters, and other components to execute selected functions
• Monitors sensors and returns status or error signals for diagnostics
• Common symptoms when failing: unit won't start, cycles won't advance, unresponsive controls, or error codes related to control faults

• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing or installing the control box
• Handle the board carefully and avoid touching circuit traces or components; use anti-static precautions if available
• Reconnect all original wiring harnesses and secure the control box to original mounting points

The Diffuser is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located inside the refrigerator compartment's rear wall, it evenly distributes cool air flow throughout storage shelves.

Causes of a bad diffuser include cracks developing from constant air blowing over many years. Debris buildup may also obstruct optimum air distribution.

Symptoms of a bad diffuser include:

• Warm or cool spots inside the refrigerator   
• Reduced airflow felt at storage level vents  
• Visible cracks or breaks in the plastic structure
• Buildup of dust or particles on air passages

This OEM Whirlpool replacement diffuser ensures balanced interior temperatures. Its engineered vent design supports consistent air distribution along shelves. 

Replace yours if any symptoms surface. This part is also compatible with some GE, Crosley, and select Kenmore models.
