The Samsung DA97-12683C Refrigerator Flipper Assembly helps maintain a proper door seal and consistent internal temperature. This replacement component is designed for select French door refrigerators and fits along the vertical edge of the left door, creating a tight seal when both doors are closed. It works by automatically pivoting into position as the door shuts, sealing the gap between the doors to reduce air leakage. By supporting efficient temperature retention, it helps preserve food freshness and reduce strain on the cooling system. Replacing a worn or damaged flipper assembly can improve energy efficiency and ensure reliable day-to-day refrigerator performance.
