Whirlpool Refrigerator Plug Or Insert

This damper cover insert fits the refrigerator's air damper/diffuser. It helps guide and seal airflow from the freezer to the fresh food section, supporting stable temperatures and reducing drafts when the original insert is cracked or missing.

• Seats inside the damper cover to shape and restrict airflow between freezer and refrigerator compartments
• Helps seal the vent opening to limit air leaks
• Supports proper temperature balance and airflow distribution in the fresh food section
• Typical symptoms include a broken/missing insert, air drafts at the vent, rattling from the cover, or inconsistent cooling

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove shelves as needed and access the damper cover in the fresh food compartment
• Release and remove the damaged insert; snap the new insert into the cover with correct orientation and a secure fit
• Handle nearby foam seals and the damper door carefully to avoid damage
