Don't know the model but looking at the manual the ice maker is in the refrigerator compartment so was wondering if there's a problem with the ice maker thermistor which then may affect the refrigerator compartment??

Did you check that the light goes out in the refrigerator compartment when the door is shut? As the light is near the thermistor, if on it could affect the temp around the thermistor.

Did you check that the light goes out in the refrigerator compartment when the door is shut? With the door open, manually operate the door switch. As the light is near the thermistor, if on it could affect the temp around the thermistor.
Did you check the actual in-circuit resistance of the refrigerator thermistor i.e. disconnect the wire from J3 pin1 on the control board (or remove the cable plug) and measure the resistance between the wire and an earth point? Can't find the actual model number of the thermistor to find the datasheet to know what the resistance values are for what temp, but the tech sheet states 29,500 Ohms at 36°F and 86,300 Ohms at 0°F so it should be around the 30K Ohms and not lower e.g. 25K Ohms as the thermistor must be an NTC (negative temp coefficient) type. (77°F = 10K Ohms)
Just some thoughts.
Found this [document|28577|service pointer] which is applicable to your model that may also be of interest, if not now perhaps some time in the future.

Also did you check that there's a good earth i.e. 0.00 Ohms to earth connected to the refrigerator thermistor?

Looking at the tech sheet it's a common white/orange wire designated thermistor ground that is connected to all 3 thermistors (ice maker, fridge & freezer) in parallel, so if the one connected to the refrigerator thermistor has a resistive connection (corroded?) somewhere it would affect how the control panel reacts.
