Edgestar fridge help - out camping!

[RES]

Fridge stopped working last night. Took apart this morning and there is a wire disconnected. This is an edgestar fp430. There are two sets of yellow and yellow with brown strip wires. One set runs into port 1 and 2 on the controller. The other set was twisted together and disconnected. I have ports 3, 5,6 open on controller. Not sure where they go? Edgestar says they don't have a wiring diagram. My guess is they go in port 3. Port 5&6 look like grounds. Any help would be very appreciated. In the woods at the start of a two week trip.

Thanks Scott

Extra info. Power to the fridge was on and temp was reading, fan running. Just not cooling.

Thanks

Not 100 % sure but i though most of these fridges had a wiring diagram on the inside of one of the panels to access the compressor.. Hope you figured it out

Probably way too late with this reply, but I had my fridge apart for some minor cleaning and I also noticed those two wires disconnected. After some research online, they're for the thermistor (temperature) feedback into the controller. There are 2 sets of thermistors embedded in the fridge wall, so if one happens to break there's a spare already in there ready to be wired up. Thermistors are cheap enough to just include spares rather than take a chance on having one break and disabling the fridge.

If you measure the resistance across the wires at room temperature, they should be approximately 10K.
