Whirlpool Corporation Refrigerator Damper Control Assembly WPW10248595

OEM air damper control assembly that regulates airflow between refrigerator compartments and may address a refrigerator that is warm while the freezer remains cold.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Fresh-food compartment temperature is too warm or not cold enough while freezer temperature is normal.
• Fresh-food compartment may become too cold if the damper remains open.
• Restricted or absent airflow from the damper outlet despite a properly cold freezer.
• Damper motor or flap may remain stuck open or closed, subject to model-specific control behavior.

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm that the freezer is producing cold air and that the fresh-food compartment has restricted or absent airflow at the damper outlet.
• With power disconnected, visually inspect the damper opening and surrounding air passage for ice, packaging, or other obstructions; do not force the flap.
• Check the damper assembly and connector for visible physical damage, corrosion, or loose wiring after accessing the component according to the appliance’s service documentation.
• If the refrigerator provides a manufacturer-specified diagnostic mode, use the model’s tech sheet to command or observe the damper; do not apply external power or bypass controls.
• Before condemning the assembly, consider that the main control and thermistor determine damper operation; a damper symptom does not by itself prove the assembly is defective.
