How to Troubleshoot an F45WJ26H Damper Assembly
The Frigidaire F45WJ26H uses a damper to control the airflow from the refrigerator's freezer into its fresh food compartment. If the damper is not working properly, the cold air of the freezer leaks into the fresh food compartment and spoils the food. The damper is located inside the control housing. If this stops working properly, you can troubleshoot the problem yourself with little hassle and minimal knowledge of the unit. Does this Spark an idea?
