This gasket for the damper assembly provides a replacement seal that helps keep compartments properly isolated and reduces air leakage. Replacing a worn gasket restores more consistent airflow and supports stable internal temperatures. What it does:

• Seals the damper opening to reduce unwanted air transfer between compartments.
• Helps the damper close and regulate airflow for more consistent temperature control.
• Common symptoms of a failing gasket: temperature swings, frost or moisture buildup, and noisy or improperly closing damper.
• Restoring a proper seal can improve cooling consistency and help avoid overworking the compressor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service.
• Remove interior items and any trim panels needed for damper access; use gentle prying to avoid damage.
• Seat the new gasket fully into the damper groove and verify smooth damper movement before replacing panels and contents.

This auger motor drives the ice-auger in the dispenser, turning the spiral to deliver ice from the bin to the door dispenser. Replacing a failed motor restores reliable ice delivery and stops auger-stall symptoms. What it does:

• Rotates the auger shaft so ice is moved from the bin to the dispenser chute
• Engages when the dispenser actuator or control calls for ice
• Common symptoms: ice won't dispense, auger won't turn, grinding or humming from the ice bin area
• Works with the auger drive assembly to meter ice flow without affecting the ice maker itself

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove ice and clear the bin to access the auger and motor assembly
• Align the motor coupling and auger shaft; secure mounting fasteners per OEM guidance
• Test dispenser operation and check for leaks or binding after reinstall

Electronic air damper control assembly for the refrigerator. It regulates the flow of cold air from the freezer into the fresh food compartment to keep temperatures consistent, helping prevent warm spots or over-cooling that can freeze items.

• Opens and closes a damper door to meter airflow from the freezer into the refrigerator
• Helps maintain set temperatures and balanced airflow between compartments
• Resolves symptoms such as a warm fresh-food section, items freezing in the refrigerator, temperature swings, weak/no airflow from the diffuser, or clicking/buzzing noises from the damper area

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing; use gloves to protect from sharp edges
• Remove shelves and the air duct/cover to access the damper; keep fasteners for reuse
• Unplug the wiring connector, release locking tabs, and install the new assembly fully seated and aligned
• Restore power and verify damper operation and airflow before reloading the compartment

This refrigerator dispenser solenoid converts electrical power into a pull on the dispenser linkage so the ice-dispensing mechanism opens and closes correctly. Replacing a weak or stuck solenoid restores consistent dispensing and reduces frost and warm-air leaks at the chute. What it does:

• Actuates the ice dispenser mechanism (e.g., chute door/gate) when the dispenser is engaged
• Helps the chute seal properly when not dispensing
• Resolve issues like no ice dispensing, door not opening/closing, loud buzz/click with no movement, or frost/condensation at the dispenser

• 1 solenoid

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the solenoid in the dispenser/freezer-door assembly; remove trim carefully to avoid breaking tabs
• Note wire positions and transfer any linkage or bracket from the original part if reused
• Restore power and test operation before final reassembly
