Paul P Warren , MI September 09, 2019 Appliance: Frigidaire Refrigerator FFHS2611LWMA Freezer cold and the refrigerator was warm I replaced the damper and thermistor assemblies. I saw another story here that was just like mine. Damper door was shut and would not open. I opened it manually then it would close and not reopen when reinstalled. I replaced the suggested parts and all was good. All in all a simple do it yourself repair to save hundreds.

Steve M Cape Coral , FL November 29, 2019 Appliance: Frigidaire Refrigerator FFHS2611LWG Showed damper not opening code New damper assembly. The fridge was not cooling. Also, light frost in the freezer but the defrost system was working. The bottom of the damper vent was plugged with ice (down next to the coil). I removed the ice plug and replaced the damper assy. I also replaced the fridge thermistor (most likely unnecessary but I did it anyway while I was in there). Everything works perfectly now. The damper was stuck in the closed position (bad motor or broken gears). Read More... 15 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Nut Drivers
