Frigidaire 242303001 Air Damper Control Assembly Kit for Refrigerators, White

It works.
It installed easily and works as it should.

Worked like a charm and saved me $300
Had an issue with my 5-year old Frigidaire Side-by-Side refrigerator (FFH52311PFBA) no longer getting cold and blinking an H1 error after a power outage, but the freezer was still ice-cold (and frosting). After some research, I found it could be two things. 1. the damper (this part) is dead and needs replacing, or 2. the return airflow vent in the fridge that goes back to the freezer is blocked with ice – because the heating element under the fridge is not working properly (usually too much dust on the coils). After checking the vent (usually on the side wall behind one of the produce drawers) and seeing no ice blocking the holes and cleaning the dust off the coils for good measure anyway, I determined it was the damper that was causing the refrigerator to not cool. This thing is fairly easy to install. You can watch videos of people doing it on YouTube, which is what I did to determine how difficult it was. After calling around to a few local repair shops, they wanted $120 to walk in the door and diagnose, plus an hourly rate to do the work, PLUS the cost of the part which was about $40 higher than it was here on Amazon. I ordered the part here figuring I could always return it using Amazon’s wonderful return policy if it turned out it was something else that was more serious – requiring me to bite the bullet and hire that expensive professional. The part arrived in a day. It took me about 20 minutes to install by unscrewing the housing for it on the fridge side (make sure you have an extended 1/4 inch hex bolt/screwdriver bit). I unplugged the fridge, carefully disconnected the power connection and the sensor connection, then popped out the old one and put in this one. Didn’t even bother to install the faceplate that came with the new one as the old one was still fine and the part slipped right in. There are only two connections to deal with and a sensor wand, so the mess of wiring looks more intimidating than it really is. I carefully put it back together, plugged in the fridge and after a few seconds, I could feel cold air coming from that vent – indicating the door flap was opening working again. After about 12 hours, my fridge was back to normal again and I could feel the damper open and close when I adjusted the number dial on the fridge side. If you’re having this problem, check your coils for dust and your airflow return vent for ice. If that’s not blocked then this might be your problem, and it’s an easy money-saving fix. Good luck.

Fixed fridge error code and lack of cold air
Inexpensive solution for my broken fridge. I even received it the next day for only a small shipping fee. It took a few minutes to get the assembly back in, but well worth the savings since I didn’t need to buy a new fridge.

Works very well, but…
This damper unit works well and seems to have solved my fridge not cooling issue; would have been nice if they had included the wrap tape though.The issue I have with this is the only part that failed is the two copper pins shown in the photo which over the years have become too soft to hold their shape. These two contacts are literally only a few cents, and are easy to clip in and out. They could be sold and shipped for a couple of dollars, instead we have to buy this full assembly which is very expensive, and most of it is non recyclable, when those two copper contacts are 100 percent recyclable. So this is a costly part that does not help the environment at all.

Easy to install…. Took about 10 mins but you might as well clean the fridge while you have everything out – so really 25 mins.😎

Mi refrigerador marcó un error y no enfriaba de forma correcta. Revisando e investigando, descubrimos que la pequeña puerta que conecta al congelador y al refri por la parte de arriba, no abría correctamente. La buscamos en internet y la encontramos aquí. Le quedó perfecto y no ha causado ni un solo problema.
