• Opens and closes to regulate cold air flow into the fresh-food section.
• Helps maintain even compartment temperatures when working correctly.
• Symptoms of a failing damper: uneven temperatures, refrigerator too warm or too cold, or airflow that doesn't change when controls are adjusted.
• Common failure causes: stuck or broken damper arm/gears or damaged actuator linkage.

What's included:

• One air damper assembly.

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove shelves and any interior panels blocking access to the damper housing; keep track of screws and retainers.
• Handle the damper linkage and actuator carefully to avoid damage; reassemble panels securely and restore power to test operation.
