Replacement passive inlet vent bezel that restores the appliance's exterior trim and helps direct airflow through the vent opening. Installs as a single trim piece to replace cracked, broken, or missing vent bezels and improve fit and appearance. What it does:
- Covers and protects the passive vent opening, providing a finished trim around the inlet.
- Helps maintain the intended airflow path; replace if bezel is cracked, warped, loose, or missing.
- Prevents gaps that can allow dust and debris into internal vent passages.
- Restores proper fit and appearance after accidental damage or panel removal.
What's included: One passive inlet vent bezel. Install notes:
- Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before performing any service.
- Removal/install typically involves removing fasteners or gently releasing retaining clips; use non-marring tools when prying plastic trim.
- Align bezel tabs or screw holes, seat the part fully, then secure with the original fasteners—do not force or over-tighten to avoid cracking.
- Inspect adjacent trim, clips, and seals during replacement and replace any damaged hardware for a secure fit.
