Answer

Kris, if it is just the refrigerator section reaching 48°F, the refrigerator thermistors WR55X10025 would need to be tested for resistance to identify if they are causing this issue or if it is the main control WR55X11130. At 48°F, the thermistors should measure about 10K Ohms. Each thermistor should measure about 14K Ohms at 37°F, 12.7K Ohms at 41°F, 7.8K Ohms at 59°F, 6.2K Ohms at 68°F, and 5K Ohms at 77°F. If the sensors test good and all mechanical parts operate properly, the failure would then be in the main control.
