The Damper is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. It plays an important role in regulating airflow through the machine's drying system.  The damper uses adjustable louvers to direct warm air emitted during the drying cycle. Proper airflow is needed to efficiently remove moisture from clothing without compromising heat ventilation. Causes of a faulty washer damper include broken internal mechanisms preventing louver movement, and restricting optimal air dispersion. Dust or mineral buildup can also impact function over time. Symptoms of a problematic damper are incomplete or lengthy drying cycles. Clothing may still feel damp even after an extended run Excessive lint accumulation could also point to improper air management
