29% of the time Damper Control Assembly

This 4 year old refrigerator was making a grinding noise

My wife researched the problem and found the most likely culprit was the part we ordered. It took less than 20 minutes to replace the defective part. The research my wife did, proved to be correct !

Refrigerator damper making loud noises when opening an closing on startup

Ordered a new damper for the refrigerator came with wiring harness attached. I no longer hear the loud noise from the refrigerator on start up. Helps to remove the top shelf for my model.

Over cooling

I had an inactive control pad so had to replace that first. Verified that the temperature sensor was accurately reporting the actual temperature. Had removed the cover over the air damper in the top back of the refrigerator compartment. Noticed that the damper was full open all the time. Replacement was easy. 1) Disconnect power. 2) Pop the air deflector off by prying up on the bottom edge with a flat blade screw driver. 3) Two Phillips head screws come out next to remove the rest of the cover. 4) The styrofoam insulation comes off as one piece by simply pulling on it. 5) Finally, the damper comes out by disconnecting the power connector and then pushing gently on two locking tabs with a flat blade screw driver while pulling straight away from the back of the fridge. 6) The new damper installs by reversing these same steps.

Refrigerator too cold

After researching on your website I ordered the parts that were basically considered to be the most likely reason for problem. Boom, back up and running for less than a service call! Thanks

The Damper Control Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is controlled through the thermostat and lets cold air move from the freezer section to the fresh air section of the fridge. The damper control assembly helps maintain the desired temperature and humidity levels in each section, ensuring optimal food preservation.

A faulty damper can be caused by various factors. Over time, continuous use and exposure to temperature changes can lead to wear and tear, resulting in improper airflow or inconsistent temperature control. Mechanical issues, such as a malfunctioning motor, can also contribute to damper assembly problems.

Symptoms of a bad Damper Control Assembly in a Whirlpool refrigerator include uneven cooling between the refrigerator and freezer compartments, improper temperature regulation, or unusual noises coming from the damper assembly. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Fan Blade is an OEM replacement part for various Frigidaire brand refrigerators. An evaporator fan blade in a refrigerator is responsible for circulating the air within the fridge. It helps to ensure that the temperature remains consistent throughout the appliance. The fan blade also helps to keep the evaporator coils from freezing up, which can lead to reduced cooling efficiency.

Causes of a bad fan blade:

Wear and tear due to age and use.
Damage from debris buildup

Symptoms of a bad part:

Loud or unusual noises, such as buzzing, squeaking or humming
Inconsistent temperatures within the fridge

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

Evaporator Fan Motor

Top of freezer not cold ice melting in bucket fruit and vegetables freezing

Replaced evaporator fan motor. Because no air was circulating all the cold air stayed on bottom. Looked around and listened. Noticed no air coming out cool vents on refrigerator side and went online to see if I could find the problem. Found the fan in the freezer and it was not working. Ordered part at 11:40am with standard shipping and part was on doorstep by 10:00am the next morning. Local parts store wanted twice as much for the part.

Fridge was warm, but freezer was still cold.

I Googled the problem and many of the results pointed to a bad evaporator fan motor. I went to Appliance Parts Pros because I’ve used their parts and videos in the past with great success on this fridge (drain pipe) and washer. They had the part and a great video on the repair so I was confident I could do the fix. Even with next-day shipping, the fix cost less than $100. The fix itself went very well. I found the coils had iced up when I got the back panel off. Even with the added defrost time, I had everything opened up by the time the part arrived and the fridge was up and running 30 minutes after FedEx came. The only part that gave me trouble was the locking tabs on the motor housing. They took some effort to open and I actually couldn’t get the second one off but was able to slide the motor in anyway.

Noisy refrig

We took off the back panel to investigate where the loud noises were coming from and discovered that it WASN'T the condenser fan motor, but the evaporator fan motor, which must be accessed from the freezer compartment. After viewing the very helpful YouTubes that AppliancePartsPros.com's website provides for the part we needed, we ordered it, received it 4 days later, and using a couple of YouTubes, we removed all the parts needed to allow us access to the evaporator fan motor; took the old one out; installed the new one; and reassembled the freezer compartment. Once we plugged the refrigerator back in, we were pleased to find that our solution fixed the problem. No more noisy refrigerator humming that we previously could hear from other rooms in the house! I'd say it was challenging to repair NOT because of the process, but because of the location of the part that needed to be replaced. We were working on our backs upside down (like a plumber working under a sink) for much of the time. However, I am so proud that we were able to fix it ourselves.

Freezer cool, fridge warm.

I replaced the evaporator coil motor. Found the part on their website easily. Used their repair video. I wish manufacturers would make the parts more accessible. Fan motors need replacing. Why make someone tear apart the whole freezer to do it? But the video went step by step and the replacement fixed the issue. Big thanks to appliancepartspros.com.

Cold freezer, warm refrigerator.

I searched my problem on the site and found a video with step by step instructions with the diagnosis and repair I needed. I ordered the evaporator fan motor through appliancepartspros and watched the video a few more times until I was comfortable doing the job myself. I overnighted the motor and it was here within 36 hours, it took me about 40 minutes to replace. One thing to note is that when you have it apart if you don’t manually defrost the evaporator it may take a day or so for the fridge to get back to normal airflow wise.
