F6Warning
Kenmore Refrigerator F6 Error Code
The damper control assembly (often in the fresh food section) is not opening or closing properly.
Common causes
- Damper door stuck
- Faulty damper actuator motor
- Wiring issue between damper and control board
How to fix it
- Locate the damper (usually behind a vent in the fresh food compartment) and check for ice or obstructions.
- Manually move the damper door to see if it moves freely.
- If stuck or motor not responding, replace the damper assembly.
⚠ When to call a pro: If replacing the damper does not clear the error, call a technician to check the control board.
