Hi

I noticed in a friends frost free fridge freezer (westinghouse, 90s) that the fridge compartment's temp. controlled a damper. There is also a stat probe in this area. The freezer has a stat also. Does this mean that the fridge's damper opens and closes as needed or does the probe in the fridge just there as a dummy?
Only the freezer stat starts the unit up. The fan doesn't start when the fridge would normally need cooling (maybe cool air flows naturally when the fan isn't running?)
