241853801 - Electrolux Refrigerator Damper

This Electrolux Refrigerator Damper (241853801) is a genuine part designed specifically for Electrolux and Frigidaire refrigerator models. Also known as an air damper, it plays a crucial role in regulating the internal temperature of your refrigerator. The damper operates by controlling the flow of cold air from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator compartment. It consists of a motorized flap or door that opens and closes based on the temperature settings selected. When the refrigerator needs cooling, the motor activates and opens the damper, allowing cold air to circulate into the refrigerator compartment. Conversely, when the desired temperature is reached, the motor closes the damper, preventing excess cold air from entering and maintaining a consistent temperature within your appliance. This process ensures efficient cooling, proper temperature control, and optimized food preservation and energy consumption. If you notice that your refrigerator is too warm, too cold, or exhibiting inconsistent temperatures, it might be time to check the damper. Replacing a faulty damper could address these issues by restoring proper airflow and temperature regulation in your refrigerator. Before purchasing, verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
