W11380595 Whirlpool Refrigerator Air Diffuser Assembly

The Refrigerator Air Diffuser Assembly is a crucial OEM part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators, which also fits certain models from GE, Crosley, and select Kenmore refrigerators. This component, found on the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment, is responsible for the uniform distribution of cool air across the shelves.

Whirlpool manufactures this component not only for its own line of refrigerators but also for brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces compatible parts for appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brands.

Over time, the diffuser may develop issues such as cracks due to continuous exposure to flowing air, or it may suffer from debris accumulation that hampers effective air distribution. Recognizable signs of a malfunctioning diffuser include uneven cooling within the refrigerator, decreased airflow at the vents on storage levels, visible damage to the diffuser's plastic body, or accumulation of dust and particles blocking the air passages.

To maintain optimal performance and balanced temperatures inside your refrigerator, consider replacing the diffuser if you notice any of these symptoms. This replacement will help ensure consistent air flow and prevent cool or warm spots in the refrigerator.
