To test thermistor
Unplug from lower control module (P2)
Stick the thermistor (bulb end) in a glass of ice water (more ice than water)
After 3 minutes you should get a resistance reading of 7,000 to 10,000 ohms (measure at wire end)
Higher/lower resistance..thermistor is faulty
Fuses are 3A for DC control circuit, 5A for AC and a 35A but only on a 3way fridge-------never seen/heard of 10A fuse being used.
And cooling unit failing has nothing to do with bad control board----means cooling unit is clogging/plugging up and flow of cooling medium is disrupted
