FAQ

The 242303001 air damper control assembly regulates the flow of cold air from the freezer compartment into the fresh-food section. When it opens and closes properly, it helps maintain correct refrigerator temperature without overcooling or warming the fridge side.
This part is used on select refrigerators from Frigidaire, Crosley, and White-Westinghouse. The listing also indicates fitment for model families beginning with DFH, FFE, FFH, FFS, and LFS. Because those prefixes cover multiple full model numbers, it is best to match your complete model number together with part number 242303001 before ordering.
This air damper control assembly is associated with part number 242303001 and replaces or cross-references 3016452, AP5788340, PS8746718, and EAP8746718.
Common symptoms include the refrigerator section being too warm while the freezer still seems normal, inconsistent fresh-food temperatures, freezing food in the refrigerator compartment, weak or no airflow from the damper area, or unusual clicking/binding from the damper mechanism. These symptoms can also overlap with airflow blockage or frost issues, so checking the vent area is a good first step.
On many compatible refrigerators, this is a moderate repair that usually takes about 20 to 45 minutes. Basic tools often include a screwdriver and possibly a nut driver, depending on the interior cover style. You typically need to remove shelving or an interior cover in the refrigerator section to access the damper housing. Always unplug the refrigerator before service.
Before replacing it, check for frost or ice buildup around the air passage, blocked vents from food packaging, and signs that the refrigerator door has not been sealing properly. Also confirm the evaporator fan is running, since poor airflow from the freezer can mimic a bad damper. If the damper door is physically broken, stuck, or not opening and closing correctly, replacement is more likely needed.
These parts can fail from repeated opening and closing of the damper door, plastic fatigue, binding from ice buildup, or wear in the control mechanism. In some cases, excess moisture from frequent door openings or warm air leaks can lead to frost formation that prevents the damper from moving freely.
