RV refers use convection air to remove the heat inside the refer. You MUST have nothing at the back wall from the bottom to the fins within an inch. This allows the air to flow up and thru the cold fins removing the heat. The Thermister is installed on a single metal fin and does indeed tell the control board to either start the LP or 120 to start cooling. The fins will be 10 degrees colder than the refer temp. If the fins are 26 degrees, then the refer temp will be 36 degrees. Now, a watched pot will NOT BOIL. This means you HAVE to start the refer on temp 5, install the glass of water and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED FOR 24 HOURS. Don't open the door until that 24 hours. Use a digital thermometer. No other. If the temp is not below 38 degrees in the water, the run on LP for 24 hours. Are you POSITIVE the 120 element is heating? The link shows the type thermometer. You CANNOT use a IR thermometer. Doug
