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...

Ok pretend the temp setting has the fins at 30F so the air temp will read roughly 40F.
If you dont touch those settings, and leave the fridge closed for days, why would you see a fridge air temp down at 35 or 36F? The heating element should have turned off back when fridge air temp was closer to 40F.
As your data indicates, the air temp in the fridge is variable. The fridge cycles to maintain a temp range at the evap fins. The air temp varies with heat gain thru the fridge cabinet wall. The heat gain into the fridge is a function of the temp difference between inside the fridge and outside the fridge, as well as the resistance to heat flow provided by the fridge cabinet.
