✓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is WPW10594329 the same as W10594329?
Yes — WPW10594329 is the updated superseding part number for W10594329. Both refer to the same air damper control assembly. WPW10594329 is the current active OEM part number you should order.

What does the air damper control assembly do in my refrigerator?
The air damper regulates how much cold air flows from the freezer into the fresh food compartment. When it malfunctions, your fridge loses the ability to maintain consistent temperatures — leading to warm spots, excess frost, or food spoilage.

Will this part fit my KitchenAid or Maytag refrigerator?
Yes — WPW10594329 is used across Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, JennAir, and Amana refrigerators. Check the Compatible Models section above or browse your model's parts page in our model hub to confirm fit.

What is the difference between the OEM and XPart version?
The OEM version is the genuine Whirlpool factory part. The XPart version is a premium aftermarket alternative engineered to the same fit and function specifications, offered at a lower price. XPart parts are not affiliated with or endorsed by Whirlpool.

How long does installation take?
Most homeowners complete this repair in 30–60 minutes with a standard Phillips screwdriver. No special tools or refrigeration experience required.
