I just replaced the Air Diffuser, but no ar is coming into the fridge section. I tested the thermistors for continuity and they (freezer and fridge both) seemed to be good. ?when I replace the diffuser - should I feel air immediatley of will it take time? If not the diffuser - how to test the cold control?

If ok, open up the fridg door and check airflow from freezer, if ok, you have a blocked air return somewhere.

If so, jam it open with a wad of duck tape, fridg should now get cold. Check the damper door thermostat behind the control panel, might be stuck. You can try a non-resdue contact cleaner available at Wall Mart to clean it.
