Problem
Fridge compartment too cold, freezes up foods.
Tools
1/4'' socket and rachet.
Repair & Advice
This component perfectly resolved my problem as the original damper has the joint broken thus could not fully closed or sealed without leaking cold air. The replacement resolved the problem.
One note is that this part WPW10257451 does not include the double sided adhisive pad which is required to installed it to the damper assembly. I had to carefully peel off the adhesive pad off from the old piece which is quite challenging.
