How to Remove & Assemble the Air Diffuser in a Kenmore 106

The air diffuser is a part on Kenmore 106 model refrigerators that helps to regulate the air flow in the fresh food compartments. If perishable food stored in your refrigerator is expiring too quickly, then you may need to manually remove the air diffuser part to inspect it for any damage, such as cracks or broken pieces. A new diffuser part can then be assembled in the top interior of the refrigerator.
