The Diffuser is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is installed inside the refrigerator compartment behind the rear wall and works to evenly distribute cool airflow throughout.

Causes of a bad diffuser typically include normal accumulation of debris over time, accidental impacts during cleaning that damage plastic air ducts, or failure of mounting hardware due to vibration.
Symptoms of a bad diffuser include:
- Inconsistent or localized temperatures within the refrigerator compartment
- Dust or debris blown from inside refrigerator walls
- Abnormally loud fan noise or vibration coming from the rear
