The Damper Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This part regulates the flow of cold air from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator compartment. By adjusting the opening of the damper, it ensures that the refrigerator maintains the desired temperature, providing optimal conditions for preserving food.
Causes of a bad part can vary, ranging from normal wear and tear that accumulates over time to issues like blocked airflow caused by food or other debris. Additionally, electrical or mechanical damage can also contribute to the malfunction of a part.
Symptoms of a malfunctioning Damper Assembly include:

- Over-cooling or under-cooling in the refrigerator compartment
- Unusual noises, such as clicking or buzzing
This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
