Good, so you have no refrigeration problems. I would replace the control board, only thing left that would cause this problem.

OK thanks, but I see 3 different control boards listed in your parts when I put in KSRA251LSS13, 8201658,8201664 or 8201657? Which to order, don't want to be sent the wrong one.

Get your serial # and call this parts site, may have a production change requiring the serial # to straighten it out.

Ok, finally got the control board and installed, but still does the same thing, shut fridge off, then turn back on, diffuser snaps open, then slowly closes back up, allows no air through from freezer. I'm at a loss.

Rather rare, but it might be a bad damper door assembly.

As I said, diffuser snaps wide open, working well when fridge first turned on, then slowly closes up in about 5 seconds and stays closed, is there someway of testing it because it does appear to be functioning, unfortunately already $230 in the hole replacing the thermistor and control board, or is this the only thing left that it could be, and yes I appreciate your effort trying to diagnose this thing over the internet which is tough to do.

This is an on/off control system in this fridg, anything else would require sensors on the damper motor. Suspect either a voltage leakage path to the damper motor or just a bad motor electrically, or mechanically. Might want to remove it and check.

I have the exact same issue with my Kitchenaid fridge KSRA25KKSS right now. Did the OP (Mazada) figure out the issue and end up replacing the damper?
