Description

This duct door assembly is the refrigerator's air damper door. It opens and closes to control cold-air flow from the freezer into the fresh-food compartment, helping maintain stable temperatures and reduce warm spots or localized frosting.

• Regulates airflow between freezer and refrigerator compartments
• Helps the unit reach and maintain set temperatures
• Seals the duct when closed to limit moisture and frost migration
• Also called an air diffuser/damper door; failure may show as poor airflow, fridge too warm, items freezing near the vent, or clicking from the damper area

What's included: One duct door assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the air duct/diffuser in the fresh-food section and remove its cover as needed
• Note the door's orientation; transfer any reusable seals or clips from the original if applicable
• After installation, the door moves freely and the vent path is unobstructed
