Whirlpool Refrigerator Support Parts

The air diffuser regulates and directs cold air between the freezer and fresh food sections to maintain even, stable cooling. Replacing a stuck or noisy diffuser restores proper airflow and temperature control throughout the refrigerator.

• Opens and closes a damper to meter cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment
• Helps prevent warm spots, overcooling, and inconsistent temperatures
• Can resolve little/no airflow from the vent, food freezing near the vent, or a warm fresh food section
• Noises such as clicking or grinding from the vent area can indicate a failing diffuser
• Frost or condensation around the air passage may point to a damaged diffuser or seal

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove shelves/bins as needed; take off the vent cover to access the diffuser
• Disconnect the wire harness and remove mounting fasteners; transfer any gasket/seal or hardware from the original part
• After installation, restore power and allow temperatures to stabilize
