MFI2269VEM3 does not detect temperature

Hello all,


I had ice building up on the bottom of our freezer (MFI2269VEM3). See similar problem here.


I fixed it by dismantling the bottom and pouring hot water in the drain until all ice melted and it started to flow normally.


But then after putting everything back together, the temperature sensor kept beeping. I thought it was normal as it was naturally warm from being open this long. But after 4 hours, temperature still shows 71 degrees (same as when just closed).


The temperature does go down inside the freezer, so I suspected maybe while dismantling, I unplugged the cable of the temperature sensor (I was not sure how it was supposed to be removed, so I might have pulled too hard).


However, I reopened it and every contact seemed to be tight. See pictures at the end of the post.


My next thought is to order a new Thermistor. However, I am more used to dismantling computers than Fridges, so I might be missing something :D


Any help?


Thanks,


Simo
