• 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
