Mar H Atlanta , GA January 29, 2019 Appliance: KitchenAid Refrigerator KFCS22EVMS4 Intermittent clicking noise coming from damper control area Replaced the damper control. It took only 10-15 minutes. Since replacement, the clicking noise has stopped. Very happy with the result. However, want to share that there was probably nothing wrong with the original damper other than the original faulty design. The flap opens and closes and believe the clicking noise was the result of plastic against plastic. Noticed the new damper control is exactly the same as the original except that one of the flap sides now has a thick piece of rubbery foam so not longer plastic hits plastic. If I had known, l could have saved $71 dollars because believe it could had been a very easy fix to duplicate new design. Repair experience was good but somehow feel cheated knowing all along the maker knew how to fix the problem and they could have provided a much cheaper solution.

James G Fairview , NC March 16, 2018 Appliance: KitchenAid Refrigerator KBFS25EWMS10 Malfunctioning damper control. Entered Model Number and scrolled through list of issues and found the one that closely matched the problem - the damper was continuously operating and made a grinding noise. Went to the parts diagram found the part and confirmed that it would work with my KitchenAid refrigerator and then viewed the video on how to remove and replace. The posted video was not specific for KitchenAid but gave sufficient information on how to access, remove and replace the part. Placed the order online and upon receipt did the swap in less than 20 minutes and all is working perfectly. HINT: Using a headband flashlight and magnetizing the two cover screws made reassembly very easy.
