Damper is in top left corner of the cabinet. You may be able to make it open and close by unplugging it for a few minutes. When it's plugged back in the board may cycle the damper motor. Or by changing the set temp dramatically although that may not be as immediate. Try it. If it is coming from that spot it's the damper of the fan next to it, which comes with it Your model # is missing digits but it's probably GE WR49X10091 Refrigerator Damper Assembly - AppliancePartsPros.com There are other possibilities, but nothing as likely as the damper.
