LCD fresh food reads 42 most of the time (set to 37) Where does this LCD reading come from...the thermistor? Infrared shows an actual of around 45-48 in the fresh food. Some condensation on the inside wall around the thermistor as well. Freezer reads 0F most of the time, concurs with infrared. Occasionally reads as high as 9, and also concurs with the infrared, but i think it's just a defrost cycle. I replaced freezer and fresh food thermistors and tested old ones. Tested 15900 ohms at around 24F No significant difference in the symptoms. Then changed my motherboard, no change there as well. I'm a little perplexed...maybe it's the valve that diverts coolant into the fresh food section? (because there are really two separate evaporators and one compressor....climatekeeper model) A&E guy spent 30 seconds to open the door, shoot an infrared into the fresh food only, and tell me it is a bad thermistor in the fresh food section....really...comon Any thoughts?
