A few questions. Freezer set to zero Fahrenheit but never quite gets there. Also having some issues with the coil freezing up. Might this cause that?

Resistance is 8130 ohms at 32 Fahrenheit. I can't seem to get a concrete number of what this should be.

The diagnostic (service test 1) returned a value of "1" which is pass.

IF it is bad, is this the part I need? W10316760. It looks different. The one I have is white.

Hi,

Here's the freezer thermistor for your model:
Temperature Sensor W10316760


At 32 degrees that thermistor should read about 8.7k ohms, you can put the the thermistor in a glass of ice water for at least 5 minutes and see if it reads about 8.7k ohms.
