After the replacement, everything seemed to work properly for about 1 month. Last week, I noticed the refrigerator warming again. The coils were heavily frosted, not quite to the level before. The heater checks out OK (I forced it on with the jumper AND through the diagnostic cycle (1 4). I have 3 thermistors and all 3 appear to have correct resistance ( 2 freezer thermistors at 22k ohm and 16.7k ohm). Do I have a bad main board (again??)
