Fridge WOES......Again

Thank you for the advice. I had plans to add two fans since it was out for preventative maintenance purposes. You mentioned the thermistor. I was considering buying one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dometic-Thermistor-3851059042-RM3662-63-2852-62-3862-3-/282094933120?hash=item41ae2b1480:m:mWCilCxvy5zJZbuaEnKHpAQ&vxp=mtr

Any feedback on this unit?

thanks

If there is a fan it should be attached to a thermostat on the cooling fins directing the fan to come on at 130 degrees or at least around there. If it's not then the heat can't rise and escape so the freezer will work but not the fridge. Thermistor should read between 8-10000 ohms after about ten minutes in the ice. To make sure the board works just unplug the the thermistor from the circuit board and over about a day at most the fridge should become a freezer. That will prove the circuit board is functioning.
Just went through this on my parents fridge last month. These instruction were in the dometic book and online for troubleshooting. There are checks for the heating elements but I never got that far. Replaced the fan with two, (the factory bracket will accommodate two in my parents) and works really good now.
Oh and double check the door gaskets too. Unbelievable how much cold air you lose when the door opens.
