Moving fridge thermistor up = warmer??
Came across this link where the guy explains how moving the thermistor higher on the cooling fins actually creates a warmer fridge temperature. Which is the opposite of what the little sticker inside ...

I was thinking about the out of normal OHM range. But even if that existed for my model it would be towards the benefit of cooling.
When you first start the fridge it will be ambient temps. So the probe will send that OHM signal. Fridge cools to 38F. Now with the probe off the fins, should the cooling continue to get much cooler? Since the probe is normally reading the fin temp that Doug described as being 10 degrees cooler. I would think a probe hanging in the air would have to read around 28F to send the correct OHM reading to shut down.
My particular dometic fridge does not have the temperature setting dial. But i still enjoy reading about other models and how they act. I want to find the OHM specs and test my probe.
I missed part of your post. I believe you stated you do NOT have a Temp adjustment button or knob. That means you have a AUTO Temp Dometic. That means you can slide the thermister up and down on the fin, but that will only change the interior temp 4 degrees at best. A BAD Thermister will still OHM out correctly. Doug
