Doug,
Here's a cut-and-paste quote from Page 6 of the owners manual of our Norcold Model 611 2-Way propane RV refrigerator:
"The temperature switch (2) controls the temperature adjustment
of the freezer and the fresh food compartment."
This tells me that low numbers of the 5-position temperature switch mean average warmer temperatures for both sections of the unit and high numbers of the 5-position temperature switch mean average lower temperatures for both sections.
Then ... what does sliding of the thermistor do ... over-ride the switch settings, OR MORE LIKELY, change the refrigerator compartment temperature in relation to the freezer compartment temperature?
Thanks I appreciate this:B 38 years and still an RV tech, and both Dometic and Norcold factory training and I have to be schooled by an RV'er:h I wonder, If you move your HOUSE(residential home) Wall Tstat UP 2 feet or DOWN 2 feet, will the house get warmer or colder, regardless of what you set the Tstat at????????? Just wondering,I KNOW the answer:) NO CHANGE that you could measure. I am done with this thread. You can do and believe what you want. Your mind is made up. AWW, the wonders of the Internet. Cheers, Doug
