W11483116 Humidity Control Module – Produce Wilting or Crisper Drawer Not Holding Humidity? This Module Is the Fix
Is This the Part You Need?
If your Whirlpool, KitchenAid, or Maytag refrigerator’s crisper drawers are no longer maintaining proper humidity — produce wilting faster than expected, or the humidity slider having no effect — the humidity control module is the likely cause. Part W11483116 (replaces W11228040) is the OEM humidity control module that regulates airflow into the crisper drawers. When it fails, the drawer environment becomes uncontrolled and food spoils faster. Available in both Genuine OEM and our premium XPart option.

A worn or cracked crisper drawer gasket (seal) causes the same symptoms as a failed humidity module — uncontrolled moisture loss or gain in the drawer. Before replacing the module, inspect the gasket around the drawer opening for cracks, gaps, or deformation. If the gasket is compromised, replace it alongside the module — both are inexpensive and replacing them together during the same visit eliminates the most common crisper humidity failures.
