fridge sensor up or down for colder?

I wasn't able to successfully search it and I'm in a spot where I only get access off and on.

To bring the temperature down in the fridge do I move the sensor up or down on the evaporator? Logic say higher to read the higher temps.
  • Thanks for the quick replies. You all are great.

    We have been so spoiled with shorter trips that we over bought for an extended one. Next time I will bring the mini fridge too. It may be a power pig but we that's the one thing we have to spare. Until then it's 24 miles round trip for ice every few days.
  • Up and to the right, according to a dealership tech I asked a few years ago.
  • IF you have a Dometic fridge with a NON-ADJUSTABLE temp setting control on upper fridge control panel then you can affect fridge temp by sliding clip with thermistor on far right fin:

    UP......Cooler temps
    DOWN....Warmer temps

    Wait overnight to check results (minor affect overall 4*F-6*F)
  • Hi Jim,

    Up--but it doesn't make a heck of a difference in mine. I finally added interior fans and that has helped immensely, especially with initial cool down time.
