Description

Deflector directs airflow inside the appliance to restore consistent temperature distribution and reduce hotspots or frost buildup. Replacing a cracked or missing deflector helps maintain even cooling and reliable performance. What it does:

• Guides internal airflow so cold or warm air reaches the intended compartments.
• Helps prevent uneven temperatures and localized frost or thawing.
• Restores proper circulation when a broken or dislodged deflector disrupts airflow.
• Simple, passive part — when damaged it often causes uneven cooling or increased frost.

What's included: One deflector. Install notes:

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or switch off breaker) before beginning service.
• Remove shelves, panels, or trim as needed for access; keep fasteners organized.
• Install in the correct orientation; secure without forcing parts or over-tightening.
