The freezer seems to be OK but the refrigerator is too cold. I've set the main Refrigerator control to max (46F) and the custom cool to "citrus" (43F) and the temp never seems to go above about 34F and sometimes gets as low as 31F (according to the built-in display). I haven't checked it with a thermometer but I'm pretty sure the display is correct because if the temp stays at 31F for any length of time the food in the bottom freezes and the ice maker quits, presumably, because the water line is frozen. Did I get a bad board? Is there some adjustment or installation procedure for the board? Maybe a new problem?

Sometimes you have to cut a wire. If you did, either you have fresh food thermister problems, or your damper door is now jamed shut.
