• Helps maintain set temperatures by directing cooled air where needed
• Faulty dampers can cause uneven cooling, warm spots, or overworking compressor
• Reduces noise from loose or broken damper flaps when operating

• One damper assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Handle the damper flap and linkage carefully; plastic parts can be fragile
• May require removal of interior panels or shelves for access—keep track of fasteners

This replacement collar is a small support piece that centers and stabilizes a rotating shaft or drum assembly, helping reduce friction and noise for smoother operation. It restores proper alignment where a worn collar causes rubbing or wobble. What it does:

• Centers and supports the rotating shaft or drum to maintain correct alignment
• Reduces metal-on-metal contact that can cause noise, rubbing, or scraping
• Helps prevent excess wear on bearings, seals, and adjacent components
• Restores smoother rotation when a damaged collar allows wobble or vibration

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing panels or the drum/shaft assembly
• Install in the same orientation and seating as the original; inspect adjacent bearings, seals, and mounts
