Ge WR60X10063 Air Damper Assembly (Fresh Food Section) OEM Part

It started with clicking sounds for about 10 seconds at random times throughout the day. eventually the clicking sounds were gone and the temperature in the fresh food section was dropping below freezing. Turns out that one of the 3 damper doors was stuck open. My fridge has a damper door in the top left and 2 doors in the bottom left. One of the bottom doors was dedicated to the quick chill drawer which hadn't worked in some time. but since the quick chill door was stuck closed it did not cause any problems. I pulled out the drawers and disabled the quick unit to access the 2 damper doors in the bottom, and replaced them both. Now the fresh food section is working again and the quick chill unit is working. With the diagrams on this site, it was straight forward repair that took less than 2 hours start to finish.

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 in a little more than an hour. BTW, after getting inside the unit, I found I only need the single door piece and could have returned the more expensive one, but I just went ahead and replaced them both.

Removed the lower panel covering the water reservoir and connected the new part to the existing water line connections. Very easy. Replacing the dampers is trickier as they are behind the housing behind the quick chill drawer. Hardest part is getting the old double-sided sticky foam off and then putting it back on. Also the alignment of the new sticky foam to the holes in the duct to the freezer is tricky - there isn't a lot of space to slide the damper assemblies in and the foam can stick in the wrong place before the diffuser assembly is aligned properly. Patience and care required. Dealing with Appliance Parts Pros was great. Very helpful and responsive!!

Every so often a loud clicking sound was heard coming from the refrigerator. It sounded like a woodpecker was in the fridge. It was random, sometimes every five minutes, sometimes an hour or so. It only lasted a few seconds, so it was hard to find. Then I discovered that if I shut the climate control drawer off and back on, it would do it. Finally I noticed it was the bottom damper (two on mine) making the sound. It wasn’t that difficult to replace. There is a piece of foam that holds the damper in. I used a utility knife blade to carefully remove it. I sprayed some spray adhesive on the foam when I reinstalled it. Problem solved, woodpecker was evicted!

I called appliancepartspros.com and chatted with Mary B. She asked a lot of great questions and spent a lot of time diagnosing the problem. We finally decided it was a damper stuck open. She recommended the part to buy. I watched the video and decided we could handle the repair and ordered the damper. My wife and I tore the refrig apart yesterday, found the offending damper stuck open, and replaced it. We are now cruising along at 36 degrees and back in business. Thanks Mary B!! We are customers for life.
