Step 1

Open the refrigerator door fully. This gives you complete access to the front vent cover under the door. If you have a Kenmore side-by-side unit, open both the freezer and refrigerator doors.

Step 2

Grab both ends of the front vent cover with your hands. Your fingers should be on the top of the vent cover with your thumbs on the bottom of the cover.

Step 3

Squeeze the top and bottom of the vent cover, and pull it away from the Kenmore refrigerator. Once you pull the vent cover away, make a mental note of the holes in the refrigerator frame for the tabs on the back of the vent cover.

Tips

Close the refrigerator doors once you have the front vent cover off unless you need access to the inside of the unit.
