Thank you for your lengthy answers. I really appreciate that. Regarding the thermocouple, I assumed the fridge would need to be operating to test the thermocouple. I was wondering how to troubleshoot it. Measure conductivity through it with it in hot water and ice water? But, since you've pointed out that I'm probably talking about the sparker (which I need to check to make sure I know what I'm talking about), I shouldn't worry about the thermocouple and I know the sparker works, but I'll put some silicone on it.
