Refrigerator not cold enough but freezer works? A faulty air damper blocks cold air from reaching the fridge. DIY fix in under 30 minutes with basic tools.
The air damper was not operating so the cold air from the freezer could not get into the refrigerator. The part from AppliancePartsPros.com did work but not without a slight modification. I read one post related to the same part where the customer thought he received the wrong part because he couldn't get the clips to engage the freezer wall.

Fridge running warm or uneven temps? This air tower assembly channels cold air through the refrigerator. Restores proper airflow and consistent cooling.
After checking the defrost heater to confirm it was ok. I replaced the main electronic board. That wasn't it. After 1 1/2 weeks, it frosted up again. I called and talked to a tech person at APP and then ordered the air tower, defroster thermostat, and temp sensor. I installed them all and the frig works great. I know replacing all those parts at once didn't confirm which one failed, but I just wanted it fixed. The cost was less than having a service call. The parts arrived the day after... Read more

Fix loud tapping or knocking noises and uneven cooling in your fridge. This air damper restores balanced temperature control. DIY repair in about 1 hour.
All my reading online pointed to the damper doors, and by standing in the open door of my fridge, I patiently waited until it happened again, and determined it was the ones behind the crisper. Problem was, there's both a single unit and a double set of doors listed on your part list. I decided to order both sets (and they came in two days, thank you). I watched your great video and even though my unit didn't perfectly match the one you demonstrated, it was close enough that I made the repair... Read more

My only problem was I didn't have the part in stock. I do maintenance at a 150 unit Apt. complex. The fridgidare model we have all 3 shelves are different.

I then unplugged the motor from the refrigerator along with a sensor. I put the motor housing on my bench and removed the Styrofoam housing that holds the damper motor. I... Read more
