The Air Damper is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwave/range hood combos. It is a crucial component that regulates the flow of air into the microwave cavity, helping to maintain proper temperature and airflow during operation.
Symptoms of a faulty Air Damper include:
- Overheating or uneven heating of food items
- Excessive noise or rattling sounds during operation
- Error codes related to temperature or airflow issues
Causes of a bad Air Damper can include wear and tear over time, physical damage or obstruction, or issues with the damper's motor or control system.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore microwave models.
