WR17X12456 - GE Refrigerator Damper

The WR17X12456 (GE Refrigerator Damper) is a genuine part manufactured by GE for their range of refrigerators. This part is sometimes referred to as the 'refrigerator air damper'. It plays a crucial role in regulating the temperature within your appliance by controlling the flow of cold air from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator compartment.

When your refrigerator needs to cool down, the damper opens, allowing cold air to circulate. Once the desired temperature is achieved, the damper closes to maintain a steady climate, optimizing both food preservation and energy consumption.

If your refrigerator is too warm, too cold, or has inconsistent temperatures, it might indicate a problem with the damper. Replacing the damper can help address these issues and ensure your refrigerator maintains the correct temperature.

Remember, the specific location and function of the damper can vary based on your refrigerator's model number. Hence, before purchasing the WR17X12456 damper, it's advisable to verify your device's model number for compatibility.
