How to Change the Refrigerator Vents on a Maytag Model MSD2454GR

The Maytag model MSD2454GR refrigerator has a vent on the front and back of the refrigerator that helps to keep the appliance cool. The vent, or grill, on the front is made out of plastic. Over time, the plastic can crack, which would require replacement. The vent on the back is made out of a cardboard material, and if you have a leak, it will soften the material and cause it to warp or rip, which would require replacement as well. Neither vent is directly connected to any part of the refrigerator, aside from the refrigerator's frame, which allows you to replace both vents in minutes.
