Easy replacement!
The part was easy to replace. It a fan of standard delivery when you have a refrigerator that isn’t working. Not paying $25 to get is sooner though. They should ship overnight! Repair parts are usually needed immediately. The part was easy to replace and works great. Refrig up and running again

Will this fix my refrigerator freezing everything? And how do you install it?
For model number GSS26C4XXB03
Hello Bobbi, thank you for your question. (The ideal temperature range for the interior of your fridge is 38-42°F.) If the temperature setting is too low, then you'll obviously want to turn it up a bit. We suggest checking the Bi-Metal Defrost Thermostat PS11750673. We have a video on how to install it. The Damper could also be the issue. For the Damper, with a 1/4" nut driver, remove the 3 screws holding it in place. Unplug the old one and reverse to install the new one. We are pleased to have been able to help.
The Air Flow fins in the fridge that goes from the freezer to the fridge is moving and will not stop. What is the cause of this and what part should I buy? Thanks
For model number wsf26c3exw01
Hello Charles, thank you for reaching out. Your refrigerator may be facing this issue because of a faulty thermistor, part number PS2580944. The main control board controls the damper, based on a signal from the thermistor. The damper opens or closes accordingly. You may need to replace the thermistor to fix this issue. We hope this solves your problem!
I had also found where the diffuser has a micro switch on it. Does mine also have this switch and could this also be the cause of the issue with the diffuser running solid? If so, have you got the Micro Switch?
For model number WSF26C3EXW01
Hi Charles, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, your model does not come with a diffuser micro switch. You may need to replace the air diffuser assembly, part number PS11723079, to fix the issue. It channels and controls the cold airflow from the freezer compartment into the refrigerator compartment. We hope that helps!

Not sure which part I should buy but everything is freezing on the fresh food side even with the temp setting at the highest it can go. I hear a consistent light groaning noise coming from the vent in the top inside the fridge. Im guessing its the damper control assembly.
For model number WSF26C2EXF01
Hello Kelly, Thank you for your inquiry. The damper control is usually the main cause of your issue, but it could also be the temperature sensor in the refrigerator, which controls the damper. You can test it with a multimeter. Good luck with your repair.
Does this part come with the spring loaded, motorized door/flap inside?
For model number WSF26C3EXB01
Hello Caroline, thank you for your question. No, the parts that you are describing are with item #22 on our diagram or part number PS11750833. We hope to hear from you soon.
