You never said whether this is a Dometic circuit board or after-markey. Dinosaur electronics boards have an adjustment to enhance/change thermistor input to the circuit board.
Raising the thermistor lowers the temperature in the refer.
I said in the OP it is a Norcold. Not sure how some got confused.
Having an adjustable like that would be great assuming you can read the adjustment you are doing somehow.
I am still confused how this all works. Please correct if this is wrong.
The fridge cools from some higher temperature until it gets down to where the thermistor reaches say 25. Then the fridge warms up until cooling comes back on at say 20 (whatever, just an example here) so the fridge stays in the proper temperature zone just above freezing.
So if you move the thermistor higher on the fins, that makes its R go up, being colder there. So cooling starts from room temperature and stops when R is 25 same as before, but the fridge has not been running as long, so it is not as cold when cooling stops.
Now the fin warms up until R is 20 and cooling restarts. I am stuck on why that makes the restart temperature in the fridge also higher than before. I need more coffee I guess! :(
