In my new (used) motorhome, there is a thin white cord hanging inside the refrigerator. What is it?

By the way, if the clip does not stay on the fin, you can tighten it with a Clam Clip, binder clip, paper clip, or any number of products found in office supply stores.

My Guess as well

Right side near the top? If so that confirms it. Shoudl have a plastci clip on one of the right most fins that is supposed to hold it.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

This is what the thermistor looks like along with the bracket for attaching to the fins.

It is a Dometic DM 2652 which is the model with โ€œAutomatic Refrigerator Temperature Controlโ€ And I do have a bracket in my fins, so I will try playing with that ... thank you!

What the other posts have suggested This Video will show you what it looks like.

Th clip that holds it to the fins may be missing.

If it is the thermistor, there should be a white clip on one of the fins that it goes into. Generally goes on the farthest to the right fin or next to it. Up position makes the refer colder and lowering it warmer.

Should be a plastic bracket that fits onto the cooling fins,the end of the "cord" fits in, the bracket, sliding the bracket up or down controls the refrigerator temperature.
