Is this a bad circuit board? (fridge)
Its the type that uses the resistance probe. Which is all fine and dandy. I have not measured the ohms but assume its measuring accurately. Lets pretend the temp probe was hanging off the fins. Re...

Are you an Engineer??? I ask because you have given a lot of DATA, but have given NO IDEA what your problem is. Your main problem is the old chestnut----A Man with a Watch knows the time. A Man with 2 or more watches is never sure what the correct time is. I have never heard of a dangling Thermister causing a Refer circuit board to go to Protective mode whatever that is. The usual response to a dangling Thermister is to run all the time. Now, some refers(Norcold) DO go to a "protective" type response for a parameter out of spec. It is called BOS mode. This is just one of a few Norcold BOS parameters. Doug
Backup Operating System ("BOS")Your refrigerator features a Back-Up Operating System which provides a means for the refrigerator to cool in the event ofa failure within the refrigerator's operating controls. In the event this failure occurs, the refrigerator will display DiagnosticCode C5 and will switch automatically to the "BOS" mode. This mode provides refrigeration until the refrigerator is serviced.The fresh food and freezer compartment temperatures should be monitored to prevent over-freezing or thawing of refrigeratorcontents when operating in the "BOS" mode. If the refrigerator temperature is too cold, adjust the thermostat up (warmer) inone bar increments. If the refrigerator temperature is too warm, adjust the thermostat down (colder) in one bar increments.Allow the refrigerator to operate at the new setting for one hour before rechecking the freezer and fresh food compartmenttemperatures (frequent door opening prevents the temperatures from stabilizing). While the refrigerator can operate in thismode, Norcold recommends that you seek service as soon as practical to restore normal operation
