Hello Lawrence, It is recommended by the manufacturer to replace the complete assembly because an issue with the mechanical part of this damper door can cause an issue with the motor and actuating switches. This is why the assembly is available as an assembly and not as individual pieces.

Mike for Model Number FRS23R4AB7

Fridge is freezing food. I already replaced the thermostat (the one for freezer temp control as I understand this is the one that controls the cold air going into the fridge side...makes no sense to me but thats what I read!). The problem is still not solved, still freezing. I was then going to try the damper. I want to buy the damper only, however, wherever I plug in my model number it only shows me the entire control assembly for like $300. I have seen a damper that looks like mine under part number 241600906. Would this one work for my model? Aside from that, is there anything else it could be? I don't want to spend the money on the entire control panel but if I am going to just keep trying different parts (if its not the damper either), eventually I would have been cheaper to buy the whole assembly I assume). Thanks

Mike, the issue could be either with the refrigerator thermostat, damper, or even the adaptive defrost kit. With this in mind, the whole assembly would be the best bet as it contains all of the possible parts that could have failed and is the only way to get two of the three parts [5304482075].

Jon H for Model Number Firgidaire JSI-23 side by side

I have a side by side with cold freezer, warm fridge. I pulled the damper assembly and noticed some ice buildup but didn't seem significant enough to stop door from moving. However, the unit "clicks" and door stays closed even after I defrosted the part and reinstalled it. It has been making this slow click for a while. It is just recently that it appears to be stuck in closed position and getting warmer. Alarms started 2 days ago. Main question is - what part do I need for correct damper control? I'm guessing it is most likely the culprit. Thanks for your time j

1 Answer

Mike, If the refrigerator is too warm and the damper making a clicking noise then this will be a faulty damper.

Patrick, For this damper you would want to get the 2 switch part which is part number 241600902. Also the video would be the same for the damper assembly.

Hello Tony. You may need to reposition the damper into a better fitment to the opening. In some cases there is a small gap there, but it should not be enough to allow the food in the fresh food to freeze when the damper door is closed. Thank you.

Hello Scott. If the damper has never been replaced, it should be a 2 switch damper in the unit. If it has been replaced, then you will need to check it first. Thank you.

Hello David. It is normal for things to freeze that are placed close to the damper. However, if it is excessive freezing, then the cold control 241537104 and damper 241600906 will need to be checked to see if they are bad in the unit. Thank you.

Hello Enna. Based on the model number you provided, you will need to order 241600902. If you have ever replaced the damper before, then you will need to remove your old one and see if it has 2 or 1 micro-switches on it. Thank you.
