Description

This damper is the refrigerator air-flow control that opens and closes to direct cold air between compartments, helping maintain proper cooling balance. Replaces a worn or stuck damper to restore regulated airflow and more consistent temperatures. What it does:

• Controls the amount of cold air moved from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment.
• Opens and closes based on the fridge's temperature control signals to balance compartment temperatures.
• A faulty damper can cause uneven cooling, a warm fresh food section, or overcooling in one compartment.
• Works with the existing housing and linkage to modulate airflow as commanded by the control board.

What's included:

• One damper assembly

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electric shock.
• Remove interior panels or shelves as needed to access the damper; keep fasteners for reassembly.
• Handle plastic components gently to avoid cracking; test damper operation after reassembly.
