This air tower is the vertical duct that channels cold air from the evaporator through the cabinet vents to distribute cooling across shelves. Replacing a cracked or blocked tower restores proper airflow and more consistent temperatures.
- Directs and distributes cold air from the evaporator to the fresh food area
- Helps maintain even temperatures and airflow across the compartment
- Common symptoms of failure: weak/no airflow from vents, warm spots, frost/ice around vent area
- Physical damage such as cracks, broken tabs, or warping can allow leaks and reduce cooling
What's included: 1 air tower Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
