DA97-08430B - Samsung Refrigerator Damper

The Samsung Refrigerator Damper (DA97-08430B) is a genuine part produced by Samsung for their refrigerator appliances. It is compatible with various Samsung refrigerator models. This part, sometimes referred to as the refrigerator air damper, plays a crucial role in the efficient operation of your refrigerator.

The damper controls the flow of cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment. It is essentially a motorized flap or door that opens and closes based on the temperature settings you select. When your refrigerator needs cooling, the damper's motor activates, opening the door to allow cold air to circulate into the refrigerator compartment. Conversely, when the desired temperature is reached, the damper closes, preventing an excess of cold air and maintaining a consistent temperature.

Symptoms of a failing damper can include a refrigerator that's too warm or too cold, inconsistent temperature levels, or unusual noises from the damper motor. If you notice these signs, it may be time to consider replacing the damper.

Before purchasing the Samsung Refrigerator Damper (DA97-08430B), ensure to verify your refrigerator's model number for compatibility. This will guarantee the part fits and functions correctly in your appliance.
