Answer

Hello Eugene, With the freezer door closed, you should feel cold air blowing in from the top left of the fresh food compartment. This signifies that the air diffuser WP2216112 is open. The diffuser door can be checked by unplugging the refrigerator and putting your head in the fresh food compartment. Have someone plug the refrigerator back in. You should hear the diffuser motor energize at this point. If not, replace the air diffuser. If you hear it activate but it makes a "clicking" sound, replace it because this signifies that the damper door is broken. A frost accumulation can cause this. IF frost is found in the damper, check the door seals for any possible air leaks. This includes the ice door.
