Where is the air flow damper located on this refrigerator? Freezer in at 10 degrees and refrigerator is at 45 degrees.

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for General Electric ZISW42DSB Refrigerator | AppliancePartsPros.com

Damper is Item 7914 in Section 5

Your freezer temperature seems a little high. Recommended temp is 0 to 5 degrees F.
Fresh food recommended is 40 degrees F.

If unit seems to be running almost constantly perhaps your condenser cpils under the unit need cleaning. Also check that the compressor/condenser fan is running OK.

This refrigerator is a built in and everything seems to be at the top. Are there any coils at the bottom? The compressor/condenser fan seems to be running. I have water under the crisper drawers and can not seem to find where it is coming from, any suggestions?

Just to add my 2 cents...

All built in refrigerators are even more sensitive to the condenser coils (#7532 in Section 6, on top of the refrigerator) condition than free standing refrigerators. It has to be cleaned at least once a year. Very likely it will solve the problem.

OOPS!!

Sorry....
I should have taken a closer look at the parts breakdown before telling you where the soils were.

Okay, I have cleaned the condenser coils with the crevice tool on my vaccum cleaner and a small veggie brush. They seem to be fairly clean. I am still having water coming from the vents at the bottom of the refrigerator section and pooling under the crisper drawer. Temp in refrigerator is still at 40 degrees. Water is coming from somewhere. Where?

Just wanted to update you on our refrigerator problem/correction. Repairman returned last Saturday and at that time refrigerator temp was 50 degrees. He removed the access panel in the freezer compartment and removed the defrost "tray" and began looking for the air flow vent. After several passes he and my husband felt something not quite right. Caulk. A previous "repairman" apparently had placed caulking in the return air vent in an attempt to stop a water leak?????? After removing the caulk and putting all parts back together, the refrigerator temp was down to 40 degrees within a couple of hours and down to 33 to 35 degrees by morning and has been running great since. Lesson learned, all repairmen, whether certified by GE or not, are not created equally.:)
