Possible Causes
Stuck or broken air damper door, Failed damper motor, Obstructed air channel between freezer and fresh food sections, Damper position sensor failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before removing interior panels.
Steps:
- Locate damper assembly: In many Crosley top-freezer and side-by-side models, the damper is located at the top or side of the fresh food compartment where cold air enters from the freezer.
- Inspect damper door: Remove the damper cover and check if the door is stuck open or closed due to ice, food packaging, or broken plastic parts.
- Clear obstructions: Remove any debris or ice. If ice is present, allow it to melt naturally with the unit unplugged and doors open.
- Check motor and linkage: Gently move the damper door by hand. If it is jammed or the motor does not respond when powered, the damper assembly may need replacement.
- Replace damper: Install a Crosley-compatible damper control assembly, reconnect wiring, and reassemble the cover.
