refer still too cold, new thermistor and lower board

After replacing these items the temps remain the same -5 in the freezer and 28-30 in the refrigerator. The temp is on the lowest setting, what's next? Called a local repair guy and he really didn't want to look into it, as the time troubleshoot and then wait for the cooling to take place is too long.

All that's left is the upper board, the heating unit, and cooling unit.

  • -5 in the freezer is good
    28~30 is a little cold for the fridge, but nothing will spoil
    Put the milk, juice and beer in the bottom,
    You are on the coast the weather has been cool until yesterday
    Have you tried camping in a warm/hot area since you made the mods
    Yo might find it being perfect, when you get out in the hot boonies, instead of at home on electric
    BTW..have you tried this on propane..
    If you are on electric..With consistently better than avg power aka voltage..The heating element will run hotter, making for more cooling
  • You're right, it is set on the highest temperature setting, by having the thermister located on the lowest part of the fin.

    Why don't you put the temp on the highest settings? Move the sensor to the lowest point in the refrigerator.
