WP67006249 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Damper Control, with Harness
The WP67006249 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Damper Control with Harness is a factory-original airflow regulation component designed for Whirlpool refrigerators and compatible brands such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and others. This Genuine OEM damper control assembly is available through Appliance Kingdom (Edmonton, AB) with fast Canada-wide shipping, making it a reliable choice for restoring proper cooling balance between freezer and fresh food compartments.
This part is commonly used to resolve refrigerator temperature imbalance issues where cold air flow from the freezer section into the refrigerator compartment is not properly controlled.
Function & Importance of the Damper Control Assembly
The damper control acts as an airflow gate system inside the refrigerator. It regulates how much cold air produced in the freezer is allowed to enter the refrigerator compartment.
Inside Whirlpool refrigeration systems, this component works in coordination with sensors and control boards to maintain stable temperatures. The included harness ensures correct electrical communication between the damper motor and the refrigerator’s electronic control system.
Using a Genuine OEM part like WP67006249 is critical because:
- It ensures precise airflow calibration
- Maintains correct temperature balance between compartments
- Prevents overcooling or undercooling issues
- Supports safe and efficient compressor cycling
If this damper fails mechanically or electrically, airflow regulation becomes inconsistent, directly affecting food preservation and energy efficiency.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Damper Control
A failing WP67006249 damper control may cause the following refrigerator issues:
- Refrigerator section too warm while freezer remains cold
- Refrigerator section freezing food unexpectedly
- Weak or no airflow from freezer into fresh food compartment
- Temperature swings or unstable cooling performance
- Damper stuck open or stuck closed
- Unusual humming or clicking noises from airflow area
- Refrigerator struggling to maintain set temperature
- Uneven cooling between shelves or compartments
In many cases, replacing a faulty damper control restores proper airflow and stabilizes refrigerator temperatures, provided other components (like sensors or control boards) are functioning correctly.
Compatibility Guidance
This damper control is designed for use in Whirlpool-style refrigerator systems including compatible brands such as Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and others.
Before ordering:
- Always verify your refrigerator’s model number
- Ensure WP67006249 is listed for your specific appliance

Proper verification ensures correct fitment and prevents installation issues.
