I might be wrong here but I don't believe the thermistor measures the temperature of the fins. I read somewhere, and it made sense to me at the time, that moving the thermistor up will cool your fridge down. Cold air pools in the bottom of the fridge. As the level of cool air fills the compartment it will reach the thermistor and then shut down the fridge. If you raise it, it will take longer to fill the cool air to this higher level and thus keep the fridge cooler. Is your thermistor loose? When you raise it, does it slide back down on its own?
Remember, these refrigerators do not have fans to circulate the inside air like ours at home do. Venting the fridge is also important. I have had almost no trouble with mine because, I believe, it vents through the top of the trailer. Some fridges vent through the side and usually need an additional fan to help with circulation.
Good luck with your troubleshooting.
Thermistors measure FIN Temp.
Moving thermistor ----if fridge does NOT have an temp settings that can be selected (AUTO TEMP CONTROL)
