The thermistor itself is vital without it the control system has no clue as to how hot or cold it is in there so it will either keep cooling till everything is froze solid... or shut down and nothing gets cold..
However as the Pastor said. If its working.. Don't fix it. You might want to "Attach" it to the current location somehow.. I suggest a glue on "eye" with a zip tie to hold it.

Just as long as you do not tear it out removing the shelf.
