Tappan Refrigerator Air Duct Or Vent
Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 240362601
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.
What's included: One bottom air diffuser (single piece). Install notes:
- 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.

The top shelf for the lower door (fridge) Scott M. • Mclean , VA • October 10, 2015
My only problem was I didn't have the part in stock. I do maintenance at a 150 unit Apt. complex. The fridgidare model we have all 3 shelves are different. This repair was so simple a 2 year old could do it. The rest of my order was for stock. Things get broken quit often at work which is good for job security.
