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.

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.
