• Restores a finished appearance to the appliance where the original shield was damaged

• One replacement shield

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before service to avoid shock or injury
• Typical installation requires removing nearby panels and fastening the shield with screws or clips—retain all hardware for reassembly
• Handle carefully to avoid sharp edges; wear gloves and eye protection

This damper is the refrigerator air inlet that controls airflow between compartments to help maintain even temperatures. Replaces a worn or stuck damper to restore proper cold-air distribution and reduce temperature imbalance. What it does:

• Regulates airflow from the freezer to the fresh-food compartment to help stabilize interior temperatures.
• Helps correct symptoms like uneven cooling, warm spots in the fridge, or overly cold freezer-to-fridge balance.
• Prevents over-working of the compressor by allowing proper air circulation when functioning.
• Can become stuck or fail to open/close, producing reduced airflow or unusual noises.

• One damper assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing interior liners or control housing—handle panels and clips gently to avoid damage.
• Compare the new part to the removed component to fit before reinstalling panels.
