Clark for Model Number TFT26PRDAAA I replaced failed defrost heater with new defroster heater and thermostat. I have temperature gauges in freezer and fresh food sections to monitor temperature ranges on daily basis. The minimum temperatures in both sections is good but I think the maximum temperatures are too high. The freezer section maximun temperature is in mid 60 degrees F and the fresh food section maximun temperature range is 45-50 F. Should I replace the defrost timer? I did not find any temperature sensors in both sections for this TFT26PRDAAA model. This refrigerator is 20+ years old.
