With the fridge doors closed for days at a time, and 3 fans blowing inside my fridge, why does the electric element turn off while the air temp inside the fridge is 40+ degrees?
Thermistor measures FIN temp which will be 10*F Lower then food compartment temps
Thermostat is calibrated for a temperature range based on TEMP SETTING
40*F inside fridge is 30*F FIN temp and temp has been reached/satisfied so no 'heat' (Cooling cycle) required
SO what temp setting are you using??
Is your food staying COLD.
(do you do this OCD testing with A/C Unit, Oven calibration, Water pump Discharge pressure/flow?
Simple..........
