Ron May 24, 2012 for Model Number Amana ABB1924DEW Refrigerator / Freezer This unit has the control damper Item Number: AP4079111 Manufacturer's Number: 67003903 mounted so it is oriented with the motor above the damper. When the damper is in the closed position there is about a 1/8" gap like the spring doesn't pull it fully closed. I need to know if this is normal or if it should close completely and not let a small amount of air past. I've cycled it manually and it opens fully and the motor returns to the closed position and stops ok.
1 Answer Hello Ron. Based on the information you provided, the damper WP67003903 is working fine on the unit. It shouldn't close all the way on the unit. This is for air circulation in the unit. Read More...
Tim May 13, 2012 for Model Number MBF2256HEW The freezer is cold, but the refrigerator is warm. The damper in the refrigerator moves as I change the temperature setting for the refrigerator, but cold air never comes out of the opening in the refrigerator. Any ideas?
1 Answer Tim, Roll the freezer drawer out as far as possible and check for a frost or ice build up on the back wall of the freezer, you may have a defrost issue. Another thing to check is the evaporator fan motor WPW10128551 , it moves the air through the freezer and up into the fresh food compartment, and remove the crisper drawers in the refrigerator, and check the air return tunnels in the bottom corners of the compartment for blockage or ice. Of course you're also going to check and make sure all the doors close and seal all the way around the opening. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Surinder November 28, 2011 for Model Number JFC2089HEP The freezer is working fine and stay on the 0 but the refrigerator is getting too cold.I did notes the damper door is stay open all the time, the refrigerator set for 38, also when i toach on the side of damper door unit then it will closed damper door.
1 Answer Surinder, You have a "sticky" auto damper, great diagnosis, there are two different damper assemblies depending on the first two numbers of your serial number on the unit. If your serial number starts with 10 you will need WP67003903 If your serial number starts with 11 or higher WPW10196393 is the damper assembly you will need. You'll be fine once you get that control replaced. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...

Alfred July 13, 2011 for Model Number ABB2224DES Refrigerator is freezing. I set it at 2 and freezer 3. Sometimes it looks like it keeps running, so I unplug it and plug it in.
1 Answer Hello Alfred. You will need to check and see if the damper assembly WP67003903 is opening and closing properly. Here is a test you can perform to see if it is working properly. If it is not, you will need to replace the damper. If it is working properly, you will need to replace the thermister 12002355. Hope this helps. Service Test Mode: The service test functions are performed using the refrigerator display and keypad. Enter the Service Test Mode by performing the following sequence of events 1. Hold the refrigerator door light switch closed. 2. Press the Refrigerator Temperature Up keypad 3 times consecutively. Note: The 3 Keystrokes must be done consecutively and within 10 seconds. 3. Release the refrigerator door light switch. 4. The control will display SE to confirm entry into the service mode. 5. Entry to the Service Menu is confirmed by pressing the Refrigerator Up key once more. 6. The control will display its software version for 3 seconds. 7. Following the software revision display the freezer display will read the first test number in the diagnostic tree. The refrigerator display will be blank. Note: All control functions will be turned off (Compressor, Defrost, Evaporator Fan, the damper will remain in its current position) 8. You are now in the SERVICES TEST operational mode and may use the diagnostic tests. The Service Test Mode can be exited at any time by closing the Refrigerator Door(s). The Freezer Up / Down keys allow selection of the test to be performed.

Mark P. July 02, 2011 for Model Number 59676509500 Freezer plenty cold, fridge section warm. I see that this could be the damper that directs cold air to the fridge. Any other possible causes? I can't find a "fan" part that could also be at issue, assuming the damper controls fan-forced air?
1 Answer Hello Mark. You will need to check the evaporator fan motor 12002744 and make sure it is running properly. The evaporator fan motor is located inside the freezer section of the refrigerator. If it is running properly, make sure there is no defrost problem inside the freezer. If it is good, you will need to check the damper WP67003903 inside the refrigerator and see if it is stuck closed. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jason June 16, 2011 for Model Number abb2223dew The freezer is plenty cold, but the fridge is not doing it's job. I had a similar problem last year and called a repairman. I believe they replaced the damper control, but can't recall for certain and can't locate the reciept. I can't afford to have it repaired, so I'm taking it on myself. Is there a way of determining if it's the damper control or the control board? I have it on a forced defrost at the moment, and hope that solves the problem, but would really like to properly troubleshoot the issue before I order any repair parts.. I'm also trying to avoid buying a repair manual. Any advice or test procedures would be greatly appreciated. I'm a theatrical electrician, so I know how to use a tester and have tools. Thanks, JJS.
1 Answer Hello Jason! Is the freezer back wall building up with ice? If so, you may have a defrost control issue. The defrost is controlled by the defrost heater WP67001794, defrost thermostat 12001937, and the electronic board WPW10503278. If you have the tech data sheet it will have information on how to run the diagnostics on the unit. Hope this information helps you! Read More...
Guest February 22, 2011 Our refrigerator does not cool. The bottom mount freezer still works fine. I used to hear a noise around the area that this damper control (ap4079111) is installed when the frige had to run to keep cold. Does this part only open and close the damper or does it also control the flow of cold air? Does it sound like this is what we need to replace?
1 Answer Check and see if your fan is running in the freezer. If it is, then you will need the damper assembly, if it is not opening. Read More...
