Air Damper Control Assembly
The damper is a motorized flap that regulates the flow of chilled air from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment. If the internal motor or plastic gearing fails, the flap remains in the closed position, effectively isolating the refrigerator from the cooling source while the freezer remains cold. This is the most common mechanical failure point for this specific temperature differential.

Evaporator Fan Motor
The evaporator fan is responsible for forced convection, drawing air across the cooling coils and pushing it through the ductwork. If the fan motor fails due to bearing seizure or winding degradation, cold air remains stagnant in the freezer. While the freezer stays cold through proximity to the evaporator, the refrigerator compartment warms up because no air is being pushed through the supply ducts.

Refrigerator Thermistor
The thermistor acts as the temperature sensor for the control board; if its resistance value drifts out of spec, it may signal that the refrigerator is already at the target temperature. This causes the control board to keep the air damper closed and the fan off, despite the actual rising temperature in the fresh food section. This represents a failure in the feedback loop of the thermal management system.
