Refrigerator Air Damper and Diffuser Assemblies

A refrigerator air damper or diffuser regulates the passage of cooled air between appliance compartments on compatible models. The current selection contains two Whirlpool air diffuser assemblies, each identified by a model-specific part number.

Confirm the original assembly number before ordering. Connector design, housing shape, mounting points and internal door or motor configuration can differ even when two diffusers serve a similar airflow function.
