The thermistor in food section is sensing bulb that thermostat uses to determine run cycles in order to maintain food section temp.

Freezer temp.........lower the better.
The freezer section is the first evaporator (low temp evap)in the cooling process. When first cooling fridge the freezer uses up all the cooling until it gets down to roughly 10*F then food section will begin to cool.
When freezer temp is already cold there is more cooling action for the 'high temp evap' which is what thermostat controls

Not correct. The design of an Absorbsion unit, is such that the FIRST extremely cold CU coils are at the freezer. The unit coils then go down to the refer. The Freezer will in practical terms get the same cold(0 to 10 degrees) regardless of the tstat setting as there is NO tstat for the freezer. The design puts the extreme cold to the freezer first. THAT is why so many novices cannot figure out why---
1. The freezer gets so cold so quick but the bottom does not seem to cool instead of waiting 24 hours
2. A DEFECTIVE cooling unit will freeze the freezer but do nothing in the bottom. A LOT of RV's with defective refers get sold this way, because the novice sees that freezer as cold. Doug
