My Whirlpool side by side fridge is making a very loud clacking sound that can be stopped if you unplug a set of little wires behind a panel on the left upper inside of the fridge section. You can also see what is making the noise...a white plastic flap inside a housing located in the left upper wall of the fridge. Would unplugging and leaving upplugged this little set of colored wires cause damage until I get a repairman in to fix it....what is the problem and what does the little flap control
