If your refrigerator is not producing cold air, then the damper may need to be replaced. It controls the amount of cold air coming into the refrigerator. If it is not working, it is likely due to a malfunctioning motor or insulation foam. You can check for damage by removing the plastic assembly that houses the damper control and examining it visually. After that, reconnect the damper control wire to the wire connector on the control panel, screw it back into the fridge and then test the operation.

     

Before you attempt to fix the fridge damper, unplug the appliance. Make sure the damper is working before attempting to connect it to the electrical power. If you still don't get cold air out of the refrigerator, use a hair dryer to melt the ice in the damper area. You may need to do this several times. Then, re-plug the refrigerator and reconnect the electrical supply. Once the damper is working, make sure the circuit breaker is not off.

 

Check Inside The Refrigerator

In addition to repairing the fridge damper, you should check the airflow inside the refrigerator. A malfunctioning damper can cause a snowy freezer. If this occurs, you should first unplug and reset the electrical supply. If the problem persists, you may need to perform additional steps to repair it. Once you have replaced the damper, you should re-plug the refrigerator to make it work properly. You should then connect the damper to the electrical outlet of the refrigerator.

   

The refrigerator damper allows cold air to flow from the refrigerator to the refrigerator. A stuck damper restricts airflow, making the air in the refrigerator warm, sometimes too hot to keep food fresh and prevent spoilage. Other refrigerator cooling system functions can also affect the operation of the damper control, so this may not be an isolated issue.

   

Wipe The Evaporator Coils Carefully

The fridge damper control may be located on the top or back wall of the unit. In some models, you will have to take out the control housing on the roof first, then the vent. If you are unsure of how to remove the damper, consult your refrigerator's user manual or follow the steps in the following article. The next step is to clean out the refrigerator's evaporator coils. Ideally, you should wipe the evaporator coils thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth before you begin.

  

Cold air is created in the freezer when liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator coil and turns into gas. This process causes the surface of the evaporator coil to become very cold. A circulation fan blows air through the coils and into the refrigerator through the vents. There is a damper inside the vent. The damper is a small flap that controls airflow from the freezer to the refrigerator. It is usually located on the top of the air damper for refrigerator or on the back panel near the top. The damper is controlled by a thermostat which triggers the opening and closing of the damper depending on the temperature of the air in the refrigerator. In some cases, it may be triggered by a timer or a combination of timer and refrigerator air temperature.

  

Using Standalone Unit For Fridge Damper

The refrigerator air damper is the main control panel that controls the flow of air. When you replace the damper, you should also replace the electronic thermostat. Changing the thermostat is one of the most common problems that affect the refrigerator's performance. If you notice the sensor is malfunctioning, try a replacement. Alternatively, you can change the bulb. This way, you can test the fridge's temperature. If the fridge doesn't work, replace the control thermostat.

   

Some refrigerators have dampers connected to the electrical system of the refrigerator, including timers and thermostats. Professionals must replace or repair them. Not only are they more difficult to repair, but since they are controlled by an external thermostat, they will fail if the thermostat fails. If you are replacing the damper, consider using a standalone unit. They have their own power supply and thermostat and are easier to replace in the event of failure.
