ABSTRACT:
A damper for controlling air flow into at least one refrigeration compartment of a refrigerator is provided. The damper includes a damper, and a first damper door and a second damper door movably mounted on the frame. The damper frame defines a first gate, a second gate, and a third gate thereon. The first door is positionable to selectively close at least one of the first gate and the third gate, and the second door is positionable to selectively close at least one of the second gate and the third gate. One of the first gate and the second gate facilitates flowing cool air into the refrigeration compartment when the first gate or the second gate is open. The third gate facilitates air circulation within the refrigeration compartment when the third gate is open.
