Abstract
A refrigeration appliance includes a cabinet having a plurality of walls that define a chilled chamber, a door attached to the cabinet to selectively restrict access to the chilled chamber, a cooling system for providing cool air to the chilled chamber via a duct extending through a wall of the plurality of walls of the chilled chamber, and at least one air vent positioned at an end of the duct. Further, the air vent(s) is mounted to the wall. Moreover, the air vent(s) has a body defining an opening through which the cool air exits during operation of the refrigeration appliance. The body of the air vent(s) further defines an outer perimeter having at least one discontinuity that creates at least one airflow passage between the body and the wall to reduce moisture in the chilled chamber.
