The thermostats have three prongs with wires attached to them, not counting the ground. Which prongs do I measure the resistance readings as the cold setting is adjusted? Do I need to pull the thermostats out, or can they be tested as is with the refrigerator running? Here's a picture with two prongs on top with third pointing toward viewer: How to remove the washer cabinet.doc (21kb) downloaded 14 time(s). topfreeze attached the following image(s):

What is the problem/symptoms of the unit. Thermostat can often be checked with a meter using ohms. Trouble is that if they are intermittent just a slight nudge can close/open contacts that are sticking. Also getting to the sensing bulb so you can heat it up and cool it down can be a pain.
