If you have a dampener, its source is outside air The dampener is located in the return air line and could be as small as 3/8" wide and 2" long. Sometimes it is concealed by the insulative overwrap of the return air. Look for where the return line has a junction to a transition. If the dampener handle is parallel to the return line, it is open. move it to the perpendicular position and it will be closed. If its open, you're drawing in outside air to be heated up.
Hey friend, thank you for your inquiry!
I understand that your Frigidaire refrigerator is not cooling within the fresh food side but cooling in the freezer. I would check to assure that the vent assembly is not blocked by any food, if so remove the food and allow your refrigerator to cool down.
If there is no food blocking the vent place your hand in the fresh food side to see if any air is moving out of the damper. If you do not feel air coming out it could be an issue with your evaporator fan. Additionally we should check to make sure the gaskets are not bad. You can do that by using a dollar bill. Place the bill between the body of the fresh food and close the door. The dollar bill should stay in place and pull out with a small amount of resistance. If the dollar bill falls out when placed between the gasket and cabinet double check to see if the door is being blocked by anything stopping it from closing it. If nothing is stopping the door from closing then replace the gasket. I hope this information has been helpful. - Matt
It is most likely a bad damper motor. This is where the cool air comes out into the fridge section. On this model it is a fairly common problem and comes a whole assembly. The part # is WR49X10091 and will cost anywhere from $100 to $122. Knowing this model I would bet this is your problem. If the damper is bad and stuck open cold air will just keep blowing in. It is suppose to open and close based on the temp setting. Let me know if you have any other questions.
