One thing I didn't check (...and probably should have!)...but I'm learning as I go here...
I didn't check the thermistor. My understanding is that if those go bad, it will make it (usually) so that it doesn't stop cooling.
Does a failed thermistor ever result in ZERO HEAT in the refrigerator?? I'm guessing no but would like to hear what you think...
Thanks!

PS: I absolutely LOVE this forum and appreciate the RV community and the help they provide always!
If thermistor fails fridge SHOULD go into 'Limp' Mode which allows for continuous cooling
That is why unplugging thermistor leads at circuit board will make fridge to operate continuously and cause VERY low temps in freezer AND Food compartment IF--IF cooling unit is capable of cooling
If fridge dose cool down...replace thermistor
If it doesn't...force cool by direct energizing element lead
But this is ALL mute....cause you have already removed cooling unit so NO testing can be done
Buy NEW cooling unit and new element
