Default Fridge too cold

I think I know what's wrong but I wanted to get a second opinion from those
who probably know more.

My Sears Refrigerator (Regular freezer on top kind) is freezing up in the
fridge compartment. �I have already verified that all vents are clear �and I
can hear the fans run free and twice partially defrosted it and still it
freezes up (~20F).

Looking at the parts diagram, I see there are 2 thermistors one in freezer
and one for the fridge and an electronic control module

I think it is the fridge thermister and think I should just go and replace
it and see what happens. �Does this sound like the best course of action?

Anybody know what the thermister should read out on a multimeter (ohms while
hot and hold)? � so I can test it. �Any other useful go no-go tests I can
try to verify the failed part?

Reference to parts drawing for my modelhttp://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/retrieveSubComponentParts...

At least too cold won't ruin the food inside and I have some time even
though I need to thaw the milk for a glassfull.

Thanks in advance'


i know it souds dumb but have you set the fridge warmer? is the
freezer set excissevely cold.?

my mom called me once many years ago my fridge is frozen........
someone had bumped the control
