Greg for Model Number kenmore 25353614300 My kenmore 25353614300 was not opening and closing the damper, and the fridge side was not maintaining temp. When I tapped on the control knob the damper would open. The freezer worked fine, no problems. I purchased 5304482075 for my fridge, and installed it according to the enclosed directions. Now my fridge side is at about 35-40 and my freezer is about the same. Any ideas? My freezer was working fine before I changed this part
Answer Hi Greg. You need to review the freezer temperature routing around the damper - to- center divider area. It is imperative that the routing is just as the old one as it is formed gently around the damper gasket /Styrofoam area. It needs to be on the outside area of the damper to sense the incoming freezer air temperature.Then as it is installed, you make sure the back bolt is snug properly to insure they are against the center divider wall so the fresh food air will not migrate with the freezer air and stop damper operations while freezing the damper mechanism. Thank You. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, January 17, 2012
