Fridge wasn't cool enough food was freezing! Matt G. • Monroe , WA • August 30, 2020

I ordered the Damper Assembly (expensive) and Temp Sensor (not expensive) and installed both parts in about 30 mins after watching the instructional videos on the website. Violia! Worked like a charm. It's always a...

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
Refrigerator was not cold enough (hovering around 50 degrees) Marc B. • Rogers , AR • January 03, 2017
The air damper was not operating so the cold air from the freezer could not get into the refrigerator. The part from AppliancePartsPros.com did work but not without a slight modification. I read one post related to the same part where the customer thought he received the wrong part because he couldn't get the clips to engage the freezer wall. The response from this site was that he received the correct part but he just had to push really hard.
Armed with this knowledge I was prepared to have...

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: W10899382
This diffuser—often called the refrigerator air damper—controls how much cold air flows from the freezer into the fresh food compartment. Replacing a worn diffuser helps restore even cooling and more stable temperatures throughout the refrigerator. What it does:
- Opens and closes to regulate airflow from the freezer to the refrigerator
- Helps maintain set temperatures and reduce warm spots or over-cooling
- Common symptoms: fresh food too warm while freezer is OK, food freezing on shelves, weak airflow from upper vents, or clicking/buzzing from the diffuser area
- Helps address frost or condensation near the diffuser outlet
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing
- Access from the refrigerator section; remove shelves/air duct covers as needed
- Note wiring and orientation; remove mounting screws/clips and transfer any seals/insulation if present
- After installation, restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

The temperature in the freezer was 6 and the temperature in the refrigerator would go to 48 the evap coil wasn't defrosting Dennis W. • Elkhart , WI • June 29, 2019
After checking the defrost heater to confirm it was ok. I replaced the main electronic board. That wasn't it. After 1 1/2 weeks, it frosted up again. I called and talked to a tech person at APP and then ordered the air tower, defroster thermostat, and temp sensor. I installed them all and the frig works great. I know replacing all those parts at once didn't confirm which one failed, but I just wanted it fixed. The cost was less than having a service call. The parts arrived the day after...
