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.
