Whirlpool wpw10197773 Refrigerator Damper

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL wpw10197773 is an OEM replacement damper assembly designed to regulate airflow between the freezer and fresh food compartments in refrigerators. The damper controls the volume of cold air transferred from the freezer section into the refrigerator section, maintaining consistent temperature throughout the cabinet. When a damper fails, the refrigerator compartment may run too warm or too cold. This is a direct OEM-style replacement part intended for installation by appliance service technicians familiar with refrigeration system components.

This damper assembly is suited for residential refrigerator applications where the factory original part requires replacement due to wear, physical damage, or failure of the internal actuator or seal. It installs in the air duct passage between the freezer and fresh food sections of the refrigerator cabinet. Technicians performing preventive maintenance or diagnostic service on temperature complaints will find this a direct drop-in replacement for the original component.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance service technician. Disconnect power to the refrigerator at the wall outlet or circuit breaker before beginning any disassembly. Remove all food and shelving as needed to access the air duct panel.
