How to fix a Greenheck Fire and Smoke Damper that doesn't fully open or close?
- JJacqueline ClarkJul 28, 2025
If your Greenheck Fire and Smoke Damper doesn't fully open or close, there could be several reasons. First, the frame might be racked, causing the blades to bind on the jamb seals; adjust the frame to ensure it is square and plumb. Second, screws in the damper linkage might be the problem; the damper may be installed too far into the wall, so move it out to the line designated on the damper label. Finally, contaminants on the damper could be the cause; clean it with a non-oil based solvent, as detailed in the Damper Maintenance section.
