Robert,
We wouldn't expect you to have an issue with the new part. You may want to re check the work you did. Here's some help.

To remove the Control Housing Assembly, remove the
three screws across the front control box and the two

screws located in the rear control box.

The 2 housings will separate at the left back of the front
housing by sliding the rear housing to the right until the

buttons line up with the larger hole in the slots.

Here's how this damper operates :

When the food compartment control calls for cooling, the
contacts in the control will close sending a signal to the
ADC. The ADC then will start the damper motor running

to open the damper.

As the damper motor opens the damper, the switches on
the damper will change from NO (normally open) to the
NC (normally closed) position one at a time to prevent the
stopping of the motor in a 1/2 open position, as a result
of a power outage as the damper is opening or closing.
When both switches have reached the NC position, the

damper will be all the way open and the motor will stop.

The damper will remain open and the fan motor will
continue to run as long as the food compartment control
calls for cooling. Once the food compartment control is
satisfied, the contacts in the cold control will open. This
will break the signal to the ADC and start the damper
motor running again, closing the damper and shutting off

the freezer fan motor.

You will need to check and make sure everything is mounted and seated properly and there are nno loose connections.

Allen, here's a tech update from our files that should help explain the situation.

"If the kit is installed in older(2001) SxS refrigerator, and damper assembly is inoperative, or irratic,
You will need to move the damper motor switch harness(gray and gray/white wires) to the other switch(farthest away from the damper motor).
The remaining harness(blue and orange/white wires/two wire connector) will attach to the harness from the freezer compartment sensor, or tape off the connector and set aside in the control box assembly and not use the connector, if harness is not there.

In short, if your refrigerator does not have a freezer temperature sensor, you, you will need to move the damper motor harness to the opposite switch. It is very important to have a proper installation and seal to the new control box because, Your refrigerator temp. sensor is located in the control box. Improper air flow and temperatures in the box, due to a leak or air infiltration, can cause the damper to operate irratically.

Good Luck and Thanks,
:) :) :)

PS. Apparently this additional information did not get posted to previous responses, in the Repair Forum, but now it will, Thanks

Allen,

Remove a shelf in the freezer compartment, and check the back wall for a heavy build up of frost or ice on the wall. That's a quick easy check for a defrost issue.

No frost or ice, suspect a faulty evaporator fan motor behind the freezer back wall.

Allen,
The easy stuff first, The damper assembly on your unit doesn't open or close completely. There has to be some air movement over to the fridge compartment at all times(except the 10 to 15 minute time span for the defrost heat cycle) to maintain the temperature. So, things are normal there.

The defrost vs. evaporator fan, a little different story.

Did you notice frost or ice on the back wall of the freezer compartment ?
If not, you can pretty much figure the fan is the issue. If it is, the fridge will stop cooling, soon. You need to allow a few days(5 to 7) to lapse before you do anything, You may have had a blockage on the evaporator coils, causing a loss of air flow, and you're defrost procedure allowwed any excess ice to defrost and drain.

The part number for the evaporator fan kit is

Part number: AP4700070

Allen,

I need the model number of your refrigerator, so I can research the diagram and air flow of your system.

In the mean time, check and make sure you didn't accidentally dislodge the refrigerator temp. control temperature bulb, in the control box. If it's not in the air flow properly, it will not react properly and could cause colder temperatures.
