Refrigerator Air Damper Control Assembly
This motorized baffle regulates the flow of sub-zero air from the freezer evaporator into the refrigerator compartment. In these models, moisture can freeze the damper flap in place or the internal plastic gears can strip, preventing cold air from reaching the fresh food section while the freezer continues to operate, often leading to localized ice buildup. Replacing the assembly restores the mechanical path for forced-air convection.

Defrost Thermistor
The thermistor monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils to signal the control board when to terminate the defrost cycle. If the sensor drifts out of calibration and fails to trigger the defrost heater, frost will accumulate until it becomes a solid block of ice, physically blocking all airflow to the refrigerator. This results in the 'freezing up' of the internal components while the cabinet temperatures rise.

Evaporator Fan Motor
The evaporator fan is the primary mover of chilled air throughout the unit's ductwork. If the motor fails due to a shorted winding or frozen bearings, the heat exchange process at the evaporator stalls; the lack of airflow causes the coil to 'freeze up' into a block of ice, while the lack of circulation causes the rest of the unit to lose its cooling capacity.
