James August 29, 2023 for Model Number jfc2089hpy ordered the damper control for this model and although the relacement part #ap 6010385 was the correct part ,the wires going into the motor were directly wired into the motor providing no quick disconnect to the motor
1 Answer Hello James, in checking this found the manufacturer has updated the damper to a newer design, if the old damper had wires as part of the damper assembly then the newer damper would require a harness adapter which is part WP67005162. Read More...
Scott May 20, 2022 for Model Number ABC2037DTS I've determined I might need a damper motor, no cold to the cabin but the drawers are freezing up. Does this indicate something else? Thermistor? Where might the connections for that be and I can check resistance. What resistance would I expect to get at Room temp? or is there a resistance chart available? Freezer works fine.
1 Answer Scott, This issue will most likely be caused by a faulty damper control which will need to be replaced. Read More...
Brian March 04, 2022 for Model Number Kitchenaid KFC022EVBL5 Whirlpool/KitchenAid/Maytag Damper Control WP67003903 This motor is vibrating and making a rattling noise when it operates. Does this seem like the beginning of the failure of the motor? thanks brian
1 Answer Brian, This would likely be an issue with the control or the fact that the control has ice build-up on it which will require repair or replacement. Read More...
Scott February 07, 2022 for Model Number Damper Control WP67003903 / AP6010385 I replaced the damper control on my Maytag refrigerator in June 2021. What is the white lubricant that is used on the plastic "pin" that moves to cause the plastic damper to open and close? Mine seems to be getting a bit stuck due to a lack of lubrication.
1 Answer Hello Scott, there is no information from the manufacturer on what lubricant was used, if it is white it is likely Lubriplate, however a lot of current manufacturers use a food-grade silicone grease in this type of application, the important things are that what is used is both odorless and non-toxic. , Read More...
Ceebee November 05, 2021 I have a Whirlpool double door with freezer on bottom, with ice maker and water dispenser on the left door. The freezer was left slightly open overnight and now it will not work. The refrigerator is barely cooling also now. I tried resetting and “nothing.” Still the same. I unplugged and plugged back in and still the same. I tried opening all doors and unplugging for 24 hrs. and still not working. I understand it could be the damper being stuck or bad, due to the door being left open. Any ideas?
1 Answer CeeBee, Remove the drawer from the freezer and remove the back panel. Check for ice build up around the evaporator fan motor. Also check to make sure that the evaporator coils are not frozen over. Read More...
Ed August 05, 2020 for Model Number Whirlpool Dutch door refrigerator GX5FHDXVQ02 The refrigerator stays around 10 degrees. I pulled the cover off the damper to see if damper door would open and close. If I set the temp control below 1 to just a horizontal line on the display the door closes but soon after I move it to 1 it opens and seems to stay open. Is this caused by the damper malfunctioning Or something else? Thanks for your helpful video and your help.
1 Answer Ed, the refrigerator thermistor 12002355 would need to be tested for resistance. With the refrigerator power cord unplugged, the sensor can be tested from the temperature control at connection J2 from pin 1 white wire to pin 3 white/orange wire. At 10°F, the resistance should measure around 70KO. If the sensor is around 70KO, the failure would be with the temperature control board WPW10503278, if the sensor is not around that resistance, the sensor would need to be replaced. Read More...
Mike July 31, 2020 for Model Number JSD2690HES everywhere I look this damper claims to fit my unit, but the plug to the main motor doesn't match. but the microswitch does. As well as physical shape of the part or the mounting, But it does not wire up correctly to the motor
1 Answer Mike, This is the part number the manufacturer is calling out for your model, if it is not matching up you should contact them and see if they have any help. Read More...
Ace Cattledog April 28, 2020 for Model Number Whirlpool wrs526siahoo The diffuser motor has been running constantly for 2 years plus, grinding noise, etc. Pulled it out, the noise stopped. Fridge is cold, freezer cold. Thats why I left it go so long. Now the fridge compartment is starting to freeze (some items) more often. I don't mind replacing the diffuser assembly but ask if it could be running because of another control element like a thermostat, etc. Does the assembly come with those other elements? How do I troubleshoot?
1 Answer Ace, The diffuser has a microswitch on it that would cause the motor to not realize its position and cause it to continue to rotate so you would just need to replace the motor. Read More...
