In food compartment is the temp sensor for fridge thermostat...thermistor
Located in a plastic clip
Tip of thermistor should just protrude from top of clip
Clip should be on far right fin
Mid position is OEM location
Moving clip UP....cooler food compartment temps
Moving clip DOWN.....less cooler food compartment temps
Moving the thermistor UP/DOWN will cause minor temp changes 6*F-8*F overall


IF thermistor is faulty you can replace it with a 'rheostat' that just replaces the thermistor using existing leads.
