So, I used this video to fix my fridge. Thank u so much. The repair guy wanted $100 just to come diagnose plus part and labor. I thought it may be over my head, but u made it look super easy. Seems to be a perfect fix for me. Keep up the good work....we appreciate you!

@@DIYRepairsNow bought the part for 100$ but I also jammed a rod through the door to allow for airflow until part was delivered. We'd like to buy a new fridge but fixing this one will have to do for a few months. Extended 5 year Warranty ended a few months back so I sorta expected it to have issues - shelves already broke some in the fridge door b/c bad design or kids too rough on them 😁

I used this video as a guide to replace my damper, and it worked for several weeks. Now I have an issue where the refrigerator section is too cold; it's freezing the milk, tea and eggs. I noticed I have a 3/8" gap between the top of the inside fridge and the top of the assembly in the back section near the damper. Not the rear gap that you mentioned, but a gap at the top. Is that what you have? Should I remove the assembly and try tightening it again? Thanks.

I have the same fridge with the same error. The damper will snap shut as soon as I plug it back in after forcing it open. So I disconnected it from the arm that opens and closes it, and didn’t tape the vent. Freezer works fine and is cold, but even with the damper vent open all night and the freezer on, the fridge only got down to like 50 degrees.

Is this the same as the thermistor? When I look this error code up (2023) it comes back showing it is the thermistor or could be. But I don't see anything regarding a damper. My Frigidaire is model FFH52611LWHA manufacturerd 10/14

Is the thermistor in the air dampener? My Frigidaire is model ffss2615ts2, would the part be the same though? The top of the fridge in this video is the same set up as mine

@DIYRepairsNow 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah there’s a termistor right next to the damper but Termistor is not part of the damper it’s a different part however termistor it’s not common to go bad in this model and if you have ice in the coil you need to check the defrost thermostat and heater also if you have ice in just in part of the coils for example from the half way down you probably have a Freon leak

Who’s getting a healthy heaping of ice on the bottom of the freezer? Keeping a towel on the floor? This is why we got rid of the dang freezer drawer style on the bottom and went with side by side! Ahhhh! 😤

@shawnwaldrop3702 Жыл бұрын

Happening with a side by side, too. This fix should help that. When the flap on the damper is stuck in the closed position, look in the freezer (if a Frigidaire. Take out all the wire racks. There’s a 2 pc vented panel. Only the bottom panel needs to be removed. Only 4 - 1/4” screws to remove. When you remove the panel, you’ll see the block of ice. Left too long, and that’s what causes the damper to malfunction. Likely culprit is the supply tube filling the ice maker. It drips a little bit each time. Keep it clean, don’t overfill your freezer blocking the vent, or overfilling your ice bucket. Just remove the ice. Wipe down the metal catch tray, and replace panel. Finish this video’s install of the damper and you’re up and going again. The part was about $100 or so. Easy swap. Thanks to this channel.’
