Description

This damper is the refrigerator air control assembly that regulates airflow between compartments to help maintain even temperatures. It replaces a failed or stuck damper to restore normal cold-air distribution and reduce temperature swings. What it does:

• Opens and closes the air passage to control cold air flow into the fresh-food compartment
• Helps correct uneven cooling, warm spots, or temperature fluctuations caused by a stuck or broken damper
• Prevents excess cold air from overcooling the refrigerator section when operating properly
• Works with the fridge's temperature control system to modulate airflow as needed

What's included:

• One damper

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access typically requires removing interior liners, shelves, or a control housing; follow OEM service instructions
• Handle the damper carefully and avoid forcing gears or tabs; align mounting tabs before fastening
• After installation, restore power and verify proper opening/closing and that temperatures begin stabilizing
