Damper & Related

This replacement exhaust hose vents hot discharge air from a portable air conditioner through the window kit, restoring proper airflow and cooling performance when the original hose is cracked, collapsed, leaking, or missing.

• Directs hot air from the unit to the outdoors via the window panel
• Helps maintain correct airflow and cooling efficiency
• Replaces a damaged, brittle, or collapsed vent hose
• Symptoms may include poor cooling, warm air leaking into the room, or the hose detaching

• Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before service
• Remove the old hose from the rear outlet and window panel couplers
• Seat and lock the new hose fully onto each coupler per your model's design
• Route the hose as short and straight as possible; avoid kinks or sharp bends for best airflow

This replacement air tower assembly is the vertical duct that channels chilled air through the refrigerator compartment. Replacing a damaged tower restores proper airflow to help maintain even temperatures and consistent cooling from top to bottom.

• Directs cold air from the evaporator to vents in the fresh food section
• Helps balance temperatures and reduce warm spots
• Often replaced when the original is cracked, broken, or warped
• Common symptoms: weak airflow from refrigerator vents and uneven cooling in the fresh food compartment

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing.
• Remove shelves and bins for access; release tabs or remove screws securing the old tower.
• Transfer any clips or sensors from the original, if present; seat and secure the new tower.
• Restore power and verify airflow from the vents.

The Refrigerator Air Diverter is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool brand refrigerators. Located inside the back wall of the refrigerator, this component evenly distributes cool air throughout the fresh food and freezer compartments.

Causes of a bad air diverter can include cracks in the plastic vanes from regular use over time, blockages restricting airflow, or failures of the mounting bracket or fan component. 

Symptoms of a bad air diverter include:

• Unbalanced or inconsistent temperatures between compartments  
• Frost or ice buildup in undesired areas
• Excessive noise or vibration coming from the back wall or fan area
• Inability to maintain set temperatures properly

This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore models.

The air diffuser regulates and directs cold air between the freezer and fresh food sections to maintain even, stable cooling. Replacing a stuck or noisy diffuser restores proper airflow and temperature control throughout the refrigerator.

• Opens and closes a damper to meter cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment
• Helps prevent warm spots, overcooling, and inconsistent temperatures
• Can resolve little/no airflow from the vent, food freezing near the vent, or a warm fresh food section
• Noises such as clicking or grinding from the vent area can indicate a failing diffuser
• Frost or condensation around the air passage may point to a damaged diffuser or seal

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove shelves/bins as needed; take off the vent cover to access the diffuser
• Disconnect the wire harness and remove mounting fasteners; transfer any gasket/seal or hardware from the original part
• After installation, restore power and allow temperatures to stabilize

This assembly meters cold air from the freezer into the fresh-food compartment and provides temperature feedback to the controls. Replacing a failing unit restores proper airflow and more stable, even cooling performance.

• Motorized damper door opens and closes to regulate airflow from the freezer; stuck-open can cause freezing near the vent, stuck-closed can leave the fresh-food section warm.
• Integrated thermistor senses compartment temperature and signals the control board; a failed sensor can cause erratic or inconsistent temperatures.
• Helps balance airflow between compartments to maintain set temperatures.
• Common clues include clicking/chattering from the damper area, weak or constant airflow, warm spots, or items freezing on upper shelves.

• Disconnect power before servicing.
• Access the damper through the fresh-food air duct; remove shelves and the duct cover as needed.
• Disconnect the wire harness; route and seat wiring and seals in the same positions during reassembly to prevent air leaks.
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.

This fresh food damper control regulates the amount of cold air that enters the refrigerator compartment from the freezer. Replacing a worn or stuck damper helps restore consistent temperatures and reduce warm spots or unintended freezing.

• Regulates airflow from the freezer into the fresh food section based on the temperature setting
• Helps maintain stable refrigerator temperatures across shelves and bins
• Common signs of failure: refrigerator warm while freezer is cold; food freezing in fresh food; no change when adjusting the control; stuck or broken damper door
• Correct low or no airflow from the diffuser/air tower in the refrigerator compartment

• Disconnect power before servicing; use proper safety gear
• Access the damper behind the fresh food air diffuser or control cover; retain screws and trim
• Transfer any original brackets, linkage, or seals to the new damper; the door moves freely and seals align
• Restore power and airflow changes when the control is adjusted

The air damper assembly regulates the flow of cold air from the freezer into the fresh food compartment. A new damper restores balanced airflow for steady refrigerator temperatures—helping prevent warm spots or unwanted freezing of items.

• Controls and meters cold-air supply from the freezer to the refrigerator section
• Helps maintain even, consistent temperatures across shelves and drawers
• A stuck or worn damper may cause a warm refrigerator section while the freezer stays cold
• If stuck open, may lead to freezing near the air outlet and noticeable temperature swings
• Failing dampers can produce repetitive clicking or grinding noises from the damper area

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Access from the fresh food compartment; remove shelves and the diffuser/cover to reach the damper
• Note screw locations and wiring; handle seals and air passages carefully to prevent leaks
• After installation, verify the damper door moves freely and the cover seats properly; allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This damper is the airflow gate that opens and closes to control air movement through the appliance's vent/duct path. Replacing a worn damper restores proper circulation and helps eliminate drafts and rattling from a loose or broken flap. What it does and common symptoms:

• Opens/closes a baffle to meter airflow through the air channel
• Helps maintain consistent air circulation and appliance performance
• Symptoms can include weak airflow or a constant draft when off
• Clicking, flapping, or rattling noises near the vent/duct area
• Visible damage or a stuck/broken flap at the damper

• One damper assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; if applicable, shut off gas supply
• Access the damper behind the relevant cover/air duct; note orientation before removal
• Transfer any seals/clips from the old unit and ensure a tight, even seal on install
