The control board only has one input that represents the temperature at the exact location of the thermistor. That's it and it doesn't matter if it's an auto or adjustable model. The control board still has feedback from the thermistor at that exact spot. The only difference with an adjustable model is user-selectable choices of what the goal temperature is.
On any model, moving the thermistor to a colder location will result in a warmer fridge and freezer (they work together on the same cooling cycle). Moving it to a warmer location will make them colder (i.e. the fridge runs more).
The only question is which location on the fins is the coldest and which is the warmest.
If anyone want to tell me I missed something here, please provide a specific technical explanation of how so we can all understand better.
