Description

This replacement air damper regulates and directs airflow inside the appliance or through its vent path. Replacing a broken or stuck damper helps restore proper air movement and reduces performance issues caused by a jammed or missing flap. What it does:

• Opens and closes to control airflow in the duct or air channel
• Helps maintain proper ventilation or temperature, depending on the appliance design
• Reduces backflow/drafts or uneven airflow
• Common symptoms: poor air movement, rattling/whistling near the vent, drafts, or performance imbalance due to a stuck or broken flap

What's included:

• 1 air damper

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; isolate ducting if applicable
• Access the damper location; note orientation of the flap and any seals/gaskets
• Remove the old damper; install the new one with the flap moving freely in the correct direction
• Reassemble and test airflow; seal any duct joints per manufacturer guidance
