Bottom air diffuser directs cold air into the refrigerator's lower cabinet to help maintain even temperatures and reduce warm spots. Replacing a damaged diffuser restores proper airflow and helps the fresh-food section cool more consistently. What it does:

• Redirects cold air from the cooling channel into the refrigerator's lower cabinet for balanced cooling.
• Helps reduce warm spots and uneven temperatures in the fresh-food area.
• A cracked, broken, or missing diffuser can lead to restricted airflow and inconsistent cabinet temperatures.
• Seats into the lower air channel and secures with factory tabs or fasteners; inspect mounting tabs for damage.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before performing any service.
• Remove shelves and drawers as needed for access; work carefully around evaporator/air channels.
• Gently release and re-seat plastic tabs or remove fasteners; avoid forcing parts to prevent breakage.
• If tabs are damaged, replace them or consider replacing adjacent vent components to ensure a secure fit.

This adapter assembly joins and aligns mating parts inside the appliance so they fit securely and operate as designed. Replace a cracked or missing adapter to restore proper fit and eliminate looseness or misalignment after service. What it does:

• Provides the correct spacing and alignment between connected components
• Helps secure parts to reduce vibration, rattling, or shifting
• Restores proper fitment after a component replacement or repair
• Replace if the original is cracked, warped, or missing mounting features

• One adapter assembly

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Note the original orientation and take photos to aid reassembly
• Transfer any reusable screws/clips from the old part if needed
• Test fit and alignment before fully tightening fasteners

This gas supply tube routes fuel from the valve/manifold to a burner in your gas cooking appliance. A sound tube helps deliver a steady flame and safer, reliable operation by maintaining a sealed path to the burner.

• Directs gas from the control valve/regulator to the designated burner
• Maintains a sealed pathway to help prevent leaks
• Supports proper ignition and consistent flame size on the affected burner
• Common signs of a problem: gas odor near the tube, visible kinks/corrosion, hissing, or weak/no flame

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply; allow the appliance to cool
• Work in a well-ventilated area; support fittings with two wrenches to avoid stressing the valve/manifold
• Route the new tube exactly like the original; start threads by hand and tighten securely without over-torquing
• After reassembly, restore gas and check all joints with an approved leak-detection solution.

This flue directs exhaust and heat away from the oven cavity to the range vent path, helping maintain proper ventilation and combustion airflow. It replaces damaged or corroded flue components to restore safe venting and oven performance. What it does:

• Channels heat, smoke and combustion exhaust from the oven cavity toward the vent path
• Helps prevent heat buildup behind the oven control area and adjacent panels
• Can reduce visible soot, odors or poor venting caused by a cracked or bent flue
• Supports proper burner combustion airflow in gas models when correctly installed

• One replacement flue

• Disconnect the appliance from power (and gas supply on gas models) before starting work
• Access typically requires removing the oven back panel or drop-in cooktop; keep track of mounting screws and gaskets
• Wear gloves to protect from sharp sheet-metal edges and use caution aligning the flue to vent openings
• After installation, restore power/gas and verify normal oven operation and proper venting; check for signs of leaks or loose fasteners

This ceramic catalyst oven vent fits behind the oven broiler to help vent and break down cooking residues and odors at high temperatures, keeping oven air cleaner during cooking and self-clean cycles. It's a direct-replacement part when the original is cracked, clogged, or missing. What it does:

• Provides a heat-resistant vent surface that helps oxidize grease and odors that pass through the vent during use
• Helps maintain proper oven ventilation for consistent cooking and cleaner internal airflow
• Commonly replaced when the vent is cracked, glazed-over, excessively discolored, or emits persistent odors
• Works as part of the oven's venting system—does not affect electronic controls

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid shock or injury
• Allow the oven to cool fully; this part is installed inside the oven cavity or broiler area and may require removing racks or access panels
• Handle with care—ceramic components can crack if dropped or flexed; wear gloves to protect hands and avoid fingerprints on ceramic surfaces
