• Helps correct uneven temperatures or poor cooling caused by a stuck or failed damper.
• Stops clicking or prevents the damper from remaining in one position when faulty.
• Works with the temperature control system to regulate compartment cooling as commanded.

• Access usually requires removing interior panels or the control housing; keep track of screws and trim.
• Do not force plastic gears or tabs; verify alignment before securing the new actuator.
• Test damper operation and temperature response before reassembling interior panels.
