Description

This humidity control body is the fixed housing for a refrigerator crisper vent. It mounts to the crisper cover or drawer and provides the track for the slider so you can open/close the vent and help manage drawer moisture. What it does:

• Serves as the stationary housing for the crisper's humidity control vent
• Guides and secures the humidity control slider so it moves smoothly
• Helps regulate airflow into the crisper to influence moisture levels
• Common signs of failure: broken/missing housing, loose slider, vent won't adjust or stays stuck

What's included:

• One humidity control body

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and remove the crisper/bin or cover for access
• Note slider orientation and position before removal
• Transfer the slider to the new body and secure the body to existing mounting points
• Avoid overtightening to prevent cracking; verify smooth slider travel before reassembly
