Damper & Gasket WR09X10050

Hi Tom, Thank you for the question. There is a fan at the back of the freezer that circulates the cold air, Part Number: PS304658. I suggest locating this fan to see if it is running. Hope this helps!

Hi Walvin, Thank you for your question. If that part is missing it would actually make more sense if your fridge side was getting too cold, as that damper helps to regulate how much cold air gets into the fridge side. I would suggest also taking a look at your evaporator fan motor as well. That is the part that blows the cold air into your appliance. You may also just want to check your fridge thermistor. Make sure it is working and reading the right temperatures inside of the fridge. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi John, Thank you for your inquiry. It sounds like you have tried everything. The only other part I can think of to check is the capacitor. If this does not work you may need to have to consult with a technician. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Danny, Thank you for your question. Yes, that is exactly what this particular part does. It does sound like this could be your issue or maybe even the thermostat inside of your fridge. You should be able to test the part continuity with a multi meter to make sure that it is working correctly. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Sheena, Thank you for your question. The air damper, baffle or diffuser is the device that balances the air flow from the evaporator fan housing. This normally is a mechanically controlled baffle or flapper that controls the amount of cold air entering the fresh food compartment. If the baffle is damaged or the linkage to the control knob is damaged, then you may not have enough cold air entering the fresh food compartment resulting in higher than normal temperatures. Disconnect your refrigerator from the power source and open your refrigerator door to locate the damper or baffle. It will be found where the cold air enters the fresh food compartment. The housing that the baffle or damper is encased in is often made of plastic with a Styrofoam lining and may have a foam seal to prevent air leakage. Care should be used when inspecting the housing to avoid damage to the seal or the Styrofoam. Some refrigerator models use a temperature sensing bulb attached to this control that will automatically adjust the control for changes in the interior temperature. Make sure that the sensing bulb is in the correct position and is not damaged. Attempt to operate the control knob to verify that the linkage is intact and that it moves freely. If the damper/baffle is stuck in the closed or nearly closed position or does not move freely, then you need a replacement air inlet damper or baffle. If you ordered the part through us and it is defective, please call our customer service line and anyone will be happy to assist you. We are open 7 days a week. We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello Eddy, Thank you for the question. You will need to test the sensor attached to the damper and check to see if it has continuity. We hope this helps!
