Description
This slide air control is the user-adjustable vent regulator that directs and limits airflow in the appliance, restoring selectable ventilation for proper operation and performance. What it does
- Opens and closes the vent path so you can increase or restrict airflow.
- Replaces a cracked, stuck, or missing slider that prevents proper vent adjustment.
- Helps resolve weak or inconsistent airflow caused by a broken control slide.
- Fits into the appliance's air control assembly to provide smooth, selectable operation.
What's included
Install notes
- Disconnect power before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury.
- Typical replacement requires access to the front or control housing; remove panels and retain fasteners for reassembly.
- Handle plastic components gently to avoid cracking; ensure the slider is aligned in its track before securing panels.
- Test operation after reassembly to ensure the airflow selector moves freely and vents appropriately.
