Part DA97-08318B Damper Assembly

Purpose

Regulates airflow between freezer and fresh food compartments.

Details

This genuine OEM air damper assembly is engineered for select Samsung refrigerators to control the flow of cold air from the freezer into the fresh-food compartment. By modulating the airflow, it helps maintain proper internal temperatures, minimizes frost buildup, and ensures efficient performance. When the damper fails, you may experience symptoms like the fresh-food section becoming too warm, the freezer working constantly, frosting around the door, or uneven cooling across compartments.
