Description

This damper door is the refrigerator air vent that helps regulate internal airflow for consistent cooling. Replacing a cracked or warped damper door restores proper air pathways and helps the refrigerator maintain steady temperatures. What it does:

• Opens and closes to direct cold air between compartments for balanced cooling
• Prevents excess cold air from flowing when closed, helping avoid over-freezing
• A broken or stuck door can cause uneven temperatures or reduced cooling performance
• Works with the damper actuator to modulate airflow based on thermostat demand

What's included: One damper door Install notes:

• Unplug the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover or interior panel; keep fasteners organized
• Handle the thin plastic door carefully to avoid cracking; align on the actuator shaft before fastening
• If the actuator or mounting hardware is damaged, inspect and replace those parts separately as needed
