Default Gene, I need to know....

After one perfect day, the freezer remains cold, but the fridge is warm! I think the damper OR the fridge's thermostat would be busted. (Kitchenaid/Whirlpool calls the damper an air baffle, and it seems to be part of the "diffuser")

Two questions:
1) How to tell if it's a bad damper or a bad thermostat? The thermostat has 3 or 4 wires into it, so simply shorting it out seems risky to me. (Two if its leads go to the damper unit.)

2) How to remove the control box escutcheon or front-cover? I see the two nuts behind the control box, but the cover seems firmly attached.

For now, I've got a pencil propping that damper open.

Thanks again!
