The Maytag MRT311FFFE refrigerator vents are located in the freezer compartment and circulate cold air to the refrigerator. When items in the freezer block the vents, the airflow is disrupted, and ice often accumulates in the vents. As a result, the refrigerator doesn’t cool well. This guide will show the process of dismantling and clearing the vent for the correction of airflow, keeping your fridge and freezer cold.
