Description

This freezer damper control regulates cold airflow from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment, helping maintain proper temps and balance cooling. Replaces a faulty damper to restore normal air distribution and operating performance. What it does:

• Opens and closes the damper to control refrigerant-cooled airflow between freezer and fridge compartments
• Commonly replaced when the refrigerator compartment is too warm or the freezer runs unusually cold
• Can correct uneven cooling, temperature drift, or compressor overrun caused by a stuck or inoperative damper
• Operates with the freezer thermostat/board to modulate airflow as conditions change

What's included:

• One freezer damper control assembly

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before starting — always unplug the appliance or shut off power at the breaker
• Handle panels and shelves carefully to access the damper; basic hand tools are typically required
• Note damper orientation and wiring location before removal to ensure correct reassembly
